Thingyan rice (Template:Lang-my, pronounced [ðəd͡ʑàɴtʰəmɪ́ɴ]; Template:Lang-mnw) is a traditional Mon dish served during Thingyan, the traditional Burmese New Year. Thingyan rice is infused with paraffin wax, which is extracted from a burning candle, 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.
