How to Make Thai Steamed Mussels
- In a large stock pot, combine 1/4 cup lime juice, 1 cup coconut milk, 1/2 cup dry white wine, 2 tablespoons Thai green curry paste, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon fish sauce, and 1 tablespoon sugar.
- Stir until the sugar and curry paste are fully dissolved. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-high, add 2 pounds of fresh mussels, and immediately cover the pot.
- Steam for 5-8 minutes, or until all mussels have opened. Stir gently halfway through.
- Remove from heat and discard any mussels that remain closed.
- Pour the mussels and their fragrant broth into a serving bowl. Garnish generously with fresh cilantro and serve immediately with coconut rice and steamed asparagus (optional).
