Thingyan rice (my|သင်္ကြန်ထမင်း, in Burmese pronounced as /ðəd͡ʑàɴ tʰəmɪ́ɴ/, Thingyan htamin; mnw|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.
