Thai Green Curry Fried Rice
Khao Pad Gaeng Keow Wan
I had some sauce and two portions of rice left over from a Thai green curry. I found a great way to use up both together at : Thai green curry rice or “Khao Pad
Gaeng Keow Wan” (
But this delicious rice dish doesn’t necessarily have to be a leftover meal, you can also cook rice especially for it the day before and then stir in a fresh curry sauce made from green paste and a little coconut milk. And of course you can also use whatever additional ingredients you have on hand or come up with .
Ingredients for two servings
- ca. 500g cooked jasmine rice
- 80ml green curry leftovers
- 2 cloves garlic
- 3 Thai chilis
- a tbsp ground pepper
- a small onion
- a handful of green beans
- 2 spring onions
- 2-3 tbsp fish sauce
- 1 tbsp light soy sauce
- 1 lime
- 8 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
Preparation
As the preparation itself is very quick, all the ingredients should be prepared in advance. Peel and finely chop the garlic and onion. Then cut the chillies into fine rings and the French beans into pieces about one centimetre long. Then cut the spring onion diagonally into two to three centimetre pieces. Finally, halve the lime and cut one half into slices.
Now heat half the oil in a pan or wok and fry the garlic and chillies for about a minute. Then add the pepper and the bean pieces and continue to fry briefly. When the pepper has released its flavour, add the rice.
Fry the rice for a few minutes, stirring constantly. If the rice is still lumpy in places, flatten these lumps with a spatula until the rice is completely fine-grained. After a few minutes, stir in the onion and fry this too. Before the rice browns, stir in the curry sauce and the fish and soya sauce. Stir the liquid into the rice and allow to cook.
At the same time, heat the remaining oil in a second pan and fry one fried egg per person, leaving the yolks soft as desired.
Once the rice in the pan has turned green and is mostly dry again, it is the right time to stir in the spring onions and fry briefly. Finally, squeeze half the lime over the rice, stir once and then remove the pan from the hob.
To serve, press a portion of rice into a small bowl and then turn it out onto the plate to create a round mound of rice. Place a fried egg and a few slices of lime on top of the rice mounds and serve hot.
