Prepare the Dipping Fish Sauce. In a bowl, combine the boiling water, sugar, lime juice or vinegar, fish sauce, minced garlic, and Thai chilis. Stir until the sugar has dissolved completely. Set aside.
Grill the Mussels. Preheat the grill to 375°F.
- Place the mussels on a grill tray and close the grill lid. Cook for 5 minutes.
