Thai fried rice

[Jennabutala]

Thai fried rice ( Khao Pad or Khao Phad) is a variety of Fried rice that is prepared in the style of central Thai cuisine. In Thai khao is rice) + pad (of or relating to being stir-fried). One of the ways the dish differs from Chinese fried rice is that it is prepared with Thai Jasmine rice instead of regular long-grain rice. It normally contains a meat (chicken, pork, beef, shrimp, and crab are all common), egg, onions, and tomatoes. Green onions, cilantro, and fried garlic are then mixed in. However, each individual place varies as it is a ubiquitous dish. Then seasonings are poured in, including soy sauce, sugar, salt, possibly some chili sauce, and the ubiquitous nam pla (fish sauce). These are stirred in, and then the dish is plated and served with accompaniments like cucumber slices, tomato slices, lime and sprigs of green onion.

Other dishes include Coconut Fried Rice (Khao Pad Maprao), and Pineapple Fried Rice ( Khao Pad Saparod). Khao Op Saparod is a fancier fried rice pineapple dish with raisins and nuts and almost always comes served inside a cutout pineapple.
