And shrimp fried rice. How about squid fried rice though? Or maybe a few of the other \u2018only in Thailand\u2019 variations that tend to be inspired by or even come from adding other Thai dishes into the mix.<\/p>\n<p>Fried rice dishes (<em>khao pad<\/em> in Thai) are on pretty much every menu you\u2019ll encounter either in the country or in your local Thai restaurant. This is the case whether you are testing the wares of the cheap &amp; cheerful street restaurants, or dining somewhere a bit more upmarket.<\/p>\n<p>The beauty of fried rice dishes are that they are easy and quick to make. They also tend to be quite diverse, and you will find on occasion (depending on your Thai language skills if need be) that many of the vendors and cooks can be quite adaptable and creative if necessary when it comes to a spot of the old &#8216;Khao Pad\u2019 (<em>Pad<\/em> translates as stir-fry, btw, and <em>Khao<\/em> is rice).<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_75418\" style=\"width: 407px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/fr1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-75418\" class=\"size-full wp-image-75418\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/fr1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"397\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/fr1.jpg 397w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/fr1-199x300.jpg 199w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 397px) 100vw, 397px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-75418\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image from creativecommons.org<\/p><\/div>\n<p>They\u2019ll add pretty much anything into the mix that you ask them too, as it doesn\u2019t put them too much out of their way due to the fact that\u2026well, fried rice is fried rice.<\/p>\n<p>Plant-based eaters may opt for a plate of tofu fried rice, for instance (pronounced <em>tow-hoo <\/em>in Thai), which is one of the still limited options for non-meat eaters in Thailand, and admittedly not everyone\u2019s cup of tea. (This applies to Thai restaurants in general though, and there have been growing numbers of plant-based options popping up around the city in recent years, yet not exactly in the mainstream.)<\/p>\n<p>The other thing is that (if you are making it yourself) you can use any left-over rice that you may have cooked too much of in a previous meal (providing you took the right steps to save it). And there\u2019s always plenty of rice around in Thailand.<\/p>\n<p>The basic elements of Thai fried rice tend to be fairly straightforward, although they can be mixed and matched or substituted with various other items. All you need for basic fried rice (Thai style) is the rice itself, pre-cooked (or already saved in a box and refrigerated, although many Thais don\u2019t seem to think this is necessary).<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_75420\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/take-away.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-75420\" class=\"size-full wp-image-75420\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/take-away.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"401\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/take-away.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/take-away-300x201.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-75420\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image from creativecommons.org<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Then you\u2019ll need some garlic, a couple of onions, possibly a couple of tomatoes, and some eggs. Add a dash of soy sauce, and maybe some chilies according to taste or preference. (Many Thai restaurants and cooks not that familiar with foreigners are still under the mistaken impression that they can\u2019t eat spicy food won\u2019t want any chilies in their dish. How little they know.)<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s the basics \u2013 then you just decide what the \u2018main\u2019 item in the fried rice is going to be.<\/p>\n<p>This could be anything from simply mixed vegetables, chicken, pork, shrimps, a can of tuna, or just eggs (as in egg-fried-rice). It could even be a mix of various items \u2013 get creative! Or yet more diverse, a helping of another dish entirely, just to add some flavour \u2013 green curry fried rice being one example that comes to mind.<\/p>\n<p>So without further adoo \u2013 let\u2019s have a closer look at a few ideas with 10 variations of Thai fried rice. What you\u2019ll find here is a list of fairly authentic, grass-roots combinations and flavourings that you may not necessarily expect to encounter on the menu of many high-street Thai restaurants.<\/p>\n<p><em style=\"font-size: 1.4em;font-weight: bold\">1.Khao Pad Gaeng Kiew Wahn<\/em><strong><span style=\"font-size: 1.4em\"> (Green Curry Fried Rice)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_75422\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/green-curry.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-75422\" class=\"size-full wp-image-75422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/green-curry.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"387\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/green-curry.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/green-curry-300x194.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-75422\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image from creativecommons.org<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Anyone who has even been in a local Thai restaurant (or, God forbid, taken home one of those \u2018Thai Ready Meals\u2019 from a supermarket), should be familiar with the standard Thai green curry dish.<\/p>\n<p>But as an ingredient in fried rice?

Khao Pad Naem<\/em><strong><span style=\"font-size: 1.4em\"> (Fermented Sour Pork Fried Rice)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Naem<\/em> is a kind of fermented and slightly sour-tasting, almost sausage meat kind of pork that is added to various dishes like salads and such like, or eaten alone as a snack. So why wouldn\u2019t it serve as one of the options to contribute to another variation on a fried rice dish?<\/p>\n<p>This particular kind of meat has quite a strong taste to it may not be up everyone\u2019s street, but again it is a specifically Thai flavour in an authentic way.<\/p>\n<h4><em>&nbsp;4. <\/em><strong><em>Khao Pad Goon Shien&nbsp;<\/em>(Sweet Chinese Sausage Fried Rice)<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><em>Goon Shien<\/em> is a kind of sausage of Chinese origin. It is somewhat on the sweet side, a little bit oily, and is red in appearance. Again it can be added to various dishes like salads and noodles, and is yet another variation on the fried rice theme if you fancy it.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>goon shien<\/em> is usually cut into thin sliced before being added to the rice. As it is a kind of pre-cooked, preserved type of \u2018sausage\u2019, it only needs to be stirred in and briefly stir-fried with the rice and then you\u2019re good to go in just a couple of minutes. Fried rice dishes are basically Thai fast food.<\/p>\n<h4><em>5. <strong>Khao Pad Saporot<\/strong><\/em> (Pineapple Fried Rice)<\/h4>\n<div id=\"attachment_75426\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/pineapple-by-becky-quan.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-75426\" class=\"size-full wp-image-75426\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/pineapple-by-becky-quan.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/pineapple-by-becky-quan.jpg 924w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/pineapple-by-becky-quan-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/pineapple-by-becky-quan-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/pineapple-by-becky-quan-816x612.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-75426\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image by Becky Quan from creativecommons.org<\/p><\/div>\n<p>And let\u2019s not forget some of the amazing tropical fruits that Thailand is teeming with \u2013 why not throw some of that in your fried rice too?<\/p>\n<p>As it turns out, pineapple fried rice works quite well, either with a particular kind of meat or seafood or with just the pineapple.
