Thai Red Curry Veggie Fried Rice
  1. 1

    Rinse the rice several times under cold running water until the water runs clear.

  2. 2

    In a saucepan, bring the rice, water, and coconut water to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.

  3. 3

    Heat the oil in a wok or large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the red bell pepper, ginger, and lemongrass, and cook for 3 to 5 minutes. Add the curry paste and stir until well combined. Add the cooked rice and mix well. Push the rice mixture to one side of the wok and crack the eggs into the wok. Cook and stir the eggs until set and scrambled, about 3 minutes. Mix the scrambled eggs into the rice mixture. Add the frozen vegetables and mix well. Stir in the coconut milk.

  4. 4

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe

easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.

The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.

Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.

Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
