Thai Green Curry Fried Rice

Thai Green Curry Fried Rice combines jasmine rice with chicken, green curry paste, and traditional aromatics like kaffir lime leaves and Thai basil. The recipe layers flavors by stir-frying shallots, garlic, chicken, and vegetables before incorporating coconut milk and curry paste, resulting in fragrant rice with creamy and mildly spicy notes. Roasted eggplant adds texture, while cucumber and fried egg serve as refreshing and rich accompaniments.
