What is Pad Kra Tiem?

Pad Kra Tiem (ผัดกระเทียม) is a classic Thai stir-fry dish whose name literally means “fried with garlic.”
It’s one of Thailand’s most beloved street food staples – quick, flavorful, and deeply aromatic.
Prepared over high heat, it delivers a perfect balance of savory, garlicky, and peppery notes, with the signature crunch of golden-fried garlic.
