Thai fried rice, with common garnishes of cucumber, lime (for squeezing on top), tomato, and green onion served on a bed of lettuce.
Thai fried rice (Thai: IPA:[ko pd], Khao Pad or Khao Phad) is a variety of Fried rice typical of central Thai cuisine. In Thai, khao means "rice" and pad means "of or relating to being stir-fried". This 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, coriander, and fried garlic are then mixed in. This dish has many regional variants, as it is a widespread dish. Then seasonings are stirred in, which may include soy sauce, sugar, salt, possibly some chili sauce, and the ubiquitous nam pla (fish sauce). 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.
Common variants:
Khao Pad Moo, pork fried rice.
Khao Pad Gai, chicken fried rice.
Khao Pad Goong, shrimp fried rice.
Khao Pad Poo, crab fried rice.
Khao Pad Jay/Jey (vegetarian fried rice).
