Cook, stirring constantly, about 3 minutes. Add the mussels along with the stock and simmer until the shells open. With a slotted spoon, transfer mussels to a platter, remove mussels from shells and reserve in a warm place. Puree sauce in a blender and strain back into pot. Cook over high heat until liquid is reduced by one-third. Stir in fish sauce, coconut milk, sugar, lime juice, and salt and pepper, and remove from heat. Stir mussels into warm sauce. Ladle stew over Jasmine Rice. Garnish with remaining ingredients and serve immediately. This recipe yields 6 servings.
