Let's Help You Choose the Right Rice for Your Thai Meal ...
“Which rice should I order with my Thai food?”
It's one of the most common questions we hear at My Thai Kitchen. With so many options — jasmine, sticky, and evn fried rice — the choice can feel tricky. To make it easy, here’s our quick guide to pairing rice with your favorite Thai dishes.
🌸 Jasmine Rice: The Everyday Classic
Light, fluffy, and fragrant, jasmine rice is the go-to choice for most dishes. It’s perfect with curries, stir-fries, and noodle plates where you want a side that enhances flavors without stealing the spotlight.
Best with:
curries, stir-fry entrées, saucy dishes.
🍚 Sticky Rice: For Dipping & Grilled Favorites
Sticky rice has a unique, chewy texture that makes it fun to eat with your hands. It’s often served with grilled meats or as a base for dipping sauces. At MTK, it’s a great match for skewers or dishes with bold seasoning.
Best with: grilled meats, spicy salads, dipping sauces, or our famous
mango sticky rice for dessert.
🍍 Fried Rice: A Meal on Its Own
Fried rice isn’t just a side — it’s a full dish. Our Thai fried rice combines jasmine rice with eggs, vegetables, and your choice of protein, while our pineapple fried rice adds a sweet and savory twist.
Best with:
anyone craving a complete one-dish meal.
💙 Blue Jasmine Rice
A Signature Twist at My Thai Kitchen where we also feature a rice that’s as beautiful as it is delicious — our
blue jasmine rice,
naturally infused with Thai butterfly pea flower. The infusion gives the rice a stunning blue hue without altering its gentle, nutty flavor. It’s a memorable choice that pairs wonderfully with curries, stir-fries, or as a conversation starter at your table.
✅ Making the Right Choice
Think of rice as the stage for your Thai meal:
- Jasmine = versatile, classic, light.
- Sticky = bold, textured, fun.
- Fried rice = hearty, satisfying, all-in-one.
No matter which you choose, rice is the perfect complement to your Thai meal — and with every order at My Thai Kitchen, you can pick the one that makes your dining experience complete.
