Cooking mussel meat

    Just bought a pack of cooked mussel meat from Tesco.

    Going to use them in a laksa dish tomorrow. Just wondering how long I should heat them for? I assume very little as they've already been cooked but I'm always wary with seafood!

    Thanks!

    Until they're over 65C so basically once they're leaping hot you're good

    60-9 seconds in the simmering laska is more than enough, any longer than that and they will be totally over cooked and rubbery.


    They are fine to eat cold. Rather than adding the whole package of mussels to the pot of laska, just a few to each bowl you are serving, that way you don't need to use all your sauce at once and can freeze or refrigerate the leftover laska. If you add the mussels you'd have to use it all up at once and they have already been cooked and you can only reheat them once without ruining them.
