Thingyan rice

Traditional Mon dish of Myanmar
  •   Media: Thingan rice

Thingyan rice (Burmese: သင်္ကြန်ထမင်း, pronounced [ðəd͡ʑàɴ tʰəmɪ́ɴ], Thingyan htamin; Mon: ပုင်သင်္ကြာန်) is a traditional Mon dish served during Thingyan, the traditional Burmese New Year. Thingyan rice is infused with water and commonly served with a salad of cured salted fish, which is blanched and fried with onions, along with sour mango or marian plum.[1][2] The dish is then garnished with roasted chili peppers.[3] Although Thingyan rice originates from the Mon people, it is now commonly prepared throughout Lower Burma.[4]

This festive dish has also been adapted into Central Thai cuisine, where it is known as khao chae.
