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. The dish is then garnished with roasted chili peppers. Although Thingyan rice originates from the Mon people, it is now commonly prepared throughout Lower Burma.
This festive dish has also been adapted into Central Thai cuisine, where it is known as khao chae.
