Khao Phat (Thai Fried Rice)
Khao phat (pronounced COW-pat), is a classic dish in Thai cuisine whose name literally translates to ‘stir-fried rice’.

It is different from Chinese fried rice in that it is prepared with jasmine rice rather than regular long grain rice.

Thai fried rice typically contains similar meats to Chinese fried rice, like chicken and shrimp. However, you won’t find as many vegetables in Thai fried rice as in its Chinese cousin. Thai fried rice includes only the aromatic onion, garlic, and peppers, with thinly sliced tomatoes sometimes being added to the mix.
