Ingredients
- 1 yellow onion diced
- 2 cloves of garlic crushed
- 3-4 tbsp green curry paste adjust depending on how spicy you want it to be
- ½ cup canned coconut milk shake/stir well before measuring
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp maple syrup or to taste
- 2 carrots diced
- ½ cup frozen corn
- ½ cup frozen edamame or green peas
- 4 cups cooked rice I used long grain brown rice
- ½ lime juiced, plus more for serving
- handful of Thai basil sliced, plus more for serving
Instructions
- This recipe works best when using 1-2 days-old cooked rice that has been cooling down in the fridge. If using fresh rice, start by cooking it, then spread it out on a baking sheet to allow it to cool down completely before using (ideally place it in the fridge).
- Warm up a large wok (or sauté pan) with a little oil and then, add the onion and carrot. Cook while stirring often for about 5 minutes. Then, add the frozen corn, frozen edamame (or peas) and garlic, and keep cooking for another 3 minutes stirring often.
- Add the green curry paste, coconut milk, sweetener, soy sauce and lime juice. Stir and simmer until there is not much liquid anymore, about 5 minutes.
- Add the rice and cook while stirring often for about 5 minutes. Once done cooking, add the Thai basil and combine.
- Serve with more lime wedges and garnished with extra Thai basil.

Notes
- Keep the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. To reheat, use the microwave, but even better, warm it up in a pan to make it crispy again.
- This is a very versatile recipe and you can add your favorite vegetables, such as red pepper, zucchini, Chinese broccoli, etc. Check out the blog post for more customization ideas!
