Khao Rad Gaeng ( “Rice Covered with Curry” )

Khai Krata (Pan-fried Eggs with Chinese Sausages and Vietnamese Bologna)

One of the most reputable Thai Breakfast Dishes is Khai Krata. The rice matches two eggs, slices of Vietnamese pork bologna, and chunks of Chinese pork sausages.

It is not yet clear where the origin of this yummy breakfast is. Some say it is from France when they stay in Indo-China. Others say it originates in Vietnam during the Vietnam War. It also believed that it initially begins in Thailand throughout the Vietnam War when American build up bases around the Northeastern part of Thailand. It doesn’t matter where this one of the Thai Breakfast Dishes comes from. What’s important is the satisfaction that you will feel after having a plate of it.

Tom Luad Moo (Pork Blood Soup)

Soup in the morning is very good for your tummy, specifically if you have a sensitive stomach and can’t eat anything cold. Among the Thai Breakfast Dishes that Thais love is Tom Luad Moo or Pork Blood Soup in English. The soup consists of various pork internal parts, sometimes lungs, intestines, liver, and the most delicious ingredient is slices of thickened pig’s blood. The soup is quite simple. To spice it up, you can add chili or vinegar to make it palatable. For rice eaters, this is a superb pair for a bowl of rice.

Chok/Joke (Thai Congee Rice Porridge)

This thick rice porridge, which is similar to the Chinese Style of congee, which you can enjoy from time to time if not always. Joke is one of the Thai Breakfast Dishes equal to a Western-style bowl of cornflakes and milk, perfect morning food. It is best to serve hot with some chunks of minced pork formed into meatballs, an egg with a crack in the middle, frequently added with slices of liver, and adorns with delicate ginger pieces and cilantro. You can sprinkle other spices to make it tastier.

Khao Khai Chiao (Omelette with White Rice)

For Thai Breakfast Dishes, Khao Khai Chiao is a Thai version of omelet traditionally served on rice and garnished with chili sauce and cucumber. You can prepare the dish with eggs, fish sauce, spattered with vinegar or lemon, and if you want to add more flavor, you can add some extenders such as cornstarch or rice flour, and soy sauce.

Not resembling ordinary omelets, Khao Kai Chiao is flipped, not folded.

Gai Yang ( Grilled Chicken)

If you’re a fan of grilled chicken, this is the best option among Thai Breakfast Dishes. Gai Yang is a popular morning food for Thais and is chiefly eaten with sticky rice and raw vegetables and dipped into spicy sauces like Laotian jaew bong ( a sweet chili paste originates in Luang Prabang, Laos).

Khao Kluk Kapi (Thai Fried Rice with Shrimp Paste)

Thai Fried Rice with Shrimp Paste originated from Central Thailand and is considered a flavor-bursting one-dish meal among Thai Breakfast Dishes, for the reason that it consists of various toppings together with a plate of rice. Some of the ingredients of Khao Kluk Kapi are sliced cucumber, deep-fried shrimp, shredded sour mango, sweetened roasted pork, pork belly, and many more. You can never stop having more bites after a mouthful bite.

Traditional Thai cuisine has four classifications. These are gaeng (curries), yam (spicy salads), tom (dishes you have to boil), and tam (pounded foods). Their cooking varies from deep-fried, stir-fried, and steamed, which they get from Chinese cuisine.

Most Thai people love to eat hot, easy to find, and energy-giving food to start their day. So if you want to try new flavors, go ahead and dig into different Thai Breakfast Dishes.
