• Remove any hairy beards from the mussels. Discard any mussels that are open and don't close after being tapped. Add the mussels to a medium bowl and cover with cold water; stir with your hand to remove any sand. Drain and set aside.
• Preheat the broiler. Place the baguette slices on a baking sheet and broil until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.

Cook until slightly softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the curry paste and lime zest. Stir to coat the vegetables, about 2 minutes. Add the coconut milk, fish sauce, sugar and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a simmer and add the mussels. Cover and cook until the mussels open, 5 to 7 minutes (discard any unopened mussels). Uncover and reduce the heat to low. Add the green parts of the bok choy and half of the cilantro leaves. Toss to wilt slightly.
