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.
• Divide the mussels and sauce among shallow bowls and top with the remaining cilantro leaves. Serve with lime wedges and the toasted baguette slices.
