Thai Green Curry Fried Rice

This fusion Thai green curry fried rice brings together the bold flavors of Thai green curry with the comfort of fried rice. The rice is coated in creamy coconut milk and green curry paste, giving it a rich, savory flavor with a gentle heat.

In Thailand, it’s often served with a crispy fried egg or salted egg, along with crispy dried gourami fish on the side. The contrast between the soft, flavorful rice and the crispy, salty elements makes the dish especially satisfying.

It’s an easy, flexible meal you can pull together quickly, using whatever protein or vegetables you have on hand.
