Phad Gaeng Keow Wan (Green Curry Fried Rice with Asparagus or Peas)
Serves: 4
In the summer of 2004, my sister-in-law, Tim and I escaped 100° F heat in Thailand by going to the air-conditioned, trendy restaurant chain Black Canyon in Phuket. I always like to try new dishes created by Thai chefs who use traditional methods and ingredients. Green curry fried rice caught my eyes and it tasted so delicious that I invented this recipe with the same intense flavor we experienced.
