Notes
- Mussels, (and most shellfish) are fairly high in sodium, so be sure to use a low sodium or no salt added stock.
- Chicken or fish stock can be substituted for vegetable stock.
- Plenty of lime juice really makes this dish extra flavourful, so serve with lots of wedges.
- Most Thai curry pastes are gluten-free, but if it is a concern, be sure to check the label before buying.
- Brown sugar can be substituted for the coconut sugar.
