Khao Pad, Wok-Tossed to Order

What is Authentic Khao Pad (Thai Fried Rice)?

Khao Pad is Thailand's everyday wok-fried rice - jasmine rice tossed hot and fast with egg, onion and your choice of protein, finished with a wedge of lime on the side. It's simple by design, and simple dishes are usually the clearest measure of a kitchen's wok work.

At Charm Thai Cafe on Copley Road, each portion is cooked to order under Rin's direction. Our house-special version, Thai Special Fried Rice (Khao Pad Ruam), combines chicken, pork and prawn together with egg and fresh vegetables - our most popular fried rice by some distance. Single-protein versions and a lighter egg-only side are also available.

  • Thai Special Fried Rice (Khao Pad Ruam) - chicken, pork, prawn and egg together
  • Thai Chicken Fried Rice (Khao Pad Gai), Thai Prawn Fried Rice (Khao Pad Goong) and Thai Pork Fried Rice (Khao Pad Moo)
  • Thai Egg Fried Rice (Khao Pad Khai) - a lighter side dish
  • Jasmine rice, egg, onion and spring onion, wok-tossed to order
  • Vegan version omits egg entirely, no substitute added
  • Naturally adaptable gluten free with our soy sauce swap

The Flavour Profile

The Wok Hei Technique: A Savoury and Comforting Flavour

Fried rice is savoury and comforting rather than spiced - light soy seasoning, a touch of white pepper, and whatever protein you choose. It's a good pairing next to a spicier curry or stir fry, giving the table something milder to fall back on.

🔥 Wok Hei
The light smokiness that only comes from tossing rice hard and fast over high heat - the difference between good fried rice and great fried rice
🥚 Savoury Egg
Egg is folded through during cooking, adding richness to every forkful - left out entirely for a vegan order
🌿 Fresh Spring Onion
Spring onion goes in at the end for a fresh, sharp lift against the savoury rice

In The Kitchen

Our Authentic High-Heat Wok Frying Process

🍚

The Rice

Rin uses day-old jasmine rice so the grains stay separate in the wok rather than turning stodgy - the difference between properly wok-fried rice and a soft, steamed result.

🔥

The Wok

Onion and egg go in first, then your protein, then the rice itself - tossed quickly over high heat so nothing sits and steams.

🍽️

Cooked Per Order

Every portion is cooked to order in the wok, rather than pre-made and reheated, so it reaches your table straight from the pan.

Other Dishes Worth Trying

Dark Noodle Soup

Rin's signature dish - a rich, warming noodle broth that regulars drive across Doncaster for. Unlike anything else in South Yorkshire.

Oyster Sauce Stir Fry

Another mild, savoury option if you want to pair fried rice with a gentle stir fry rather than a spiced curry.

Handmade Starters

Spring rolls, dumplings and fish cakes all handmade in our kitchen under Rin's direction. Order a couple to share while your fried rice cooks.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About Thai Fried Rice

What's the difference between your fried rice dishes?
Thai Special Fried Rice (Khao Pad Ruam) combines chicken, pork and prawn together with egg - our most popular version. Thai Chicken Fried Rice (Khao Pad Gai), Thai Prawn Fried Rice (Khao Pad Goong) and Thai Pork Fried Rice (Khao Pad Moo) each use a single protein. Thai Egg Fried Rice (Khao Pad Khai) is a smaller side dish without added protein.
Is Thai fried rice spicy?
No, fried rice isn't a spiced dish on its own. Any heat comes from condiments added at the table rather than the cooking process - a good option if you want something milder alongside a spicier curry.
Can I have Thai fried rice vegan?
Yes. For a vegan order, egg is left out entirely with no substitute added, and vegetable or tofu is used as the base. Just mention it when ordering.
Is your fried rice gluten free?
Yes - all of our fried rice dishes can be made gluten free with our gluten free soy sauce swap. Mention any allergy when ordering so our team can prepare it correctly.
What's in Thai Special Fried Rice?
Thai Special Fried Rice (Khao Pad Ruam) is our house-special version - jasmine rice wok-seared with egg and a mix of chicken, pork, prawn and fresh vegetables. It's one of the most popular dishes on the menu.
Can I order fried rice for delivery in Doncaster?
Yes - we deliver for £2 within 8 miles of our restaurant at 67 Copley Road. Call 01302 210408 to order and pay by card over the phone. Collection is also available from 67 Copley Road, DN1 2QP. Open Monday and Wednesday to Saturday, 12pm to 9pm.
