• Heat a large wok or pan over high heat and then add the oil. Stir in the garlic, ginger, chillies, and spring onions and stir fry for 30 seconds.
• Grate the rind of the limes into the ginger mixture, then squeeze both fruit and add the juice to the wok with the coconut milk, soy sauce, and sugar. Stir to mix.
• Bring the mixture to a boil, then add the mussels. Return the pan to a boil, cover and cook briskly for 5-6 minutes, or until all the mussels have opened. Discard any unopened mussels.

• Uncover the mussels and stir in the coconut milk mixture. Cover and cook, shaking the pot a few times, until all of the mussels open, about 8 minutes. Spoon the mussels and broth into bowls and serve.
