The Indonesian-style preparation of this dish is a pleasant surprise, since mussels usually receive an Italian or French treatment. Serve with crusty bread to soak up the delicious broth.

Very good and easy to make. Defiantly needs some good dipping bread on the side! Yum.

Fantastic! I used red chili paste instead of powder, because I had it on hand. It was amazing. The mussels were perfect (5 minutes is just right). I served it with basmati rice to soak up the sauce. I will be making this again!
