Thai Fried Rice | Khao Pad | ข้าวผัด
By food247
Thai fried rice is usually served with slices of lime and a dipping sauce called nam pla prik so that you can adjust the seasonings to your taste at the table. Nam pla means fish sauce and prik means chili and the dipping sauce is just that – a bowl with fish sauce and some sliced Thai chilis.
