Khao pad is Thailand's everyday dish for any time of day – quick, filling and endlessly variable. Unlike Chinese fried rice, it gets its seasoning from fish sauce rather than soy sauce.
It is served with a squeeze of lime, fresh cucumber and prik nam pla (chilli in fish sauce) for individual seasoning.
