by Hong Thaimee
View ProfileThis dish is inspired by "Kheng Phed" or Thai red curry with lychee. Chef Hong and her team pair tender sweet potato and Japanese eggplant with sweet lychees and fragrant Thai basil, all in a creamy, mild red curry sauce. The curry is served alongside a mix of jasmine rice and quinoa. The nutty quinoa complements the sweet, juicy lychees, earthy vegetables, and aromatic, basil-infused red curry to create an explosion of flavors.
