Nasi pad prik or nasi paprik is a Malaysian dish of rice, either plain or fried, served alongside a sweet and spicy sauce, commonly containing chunks of meat and vegetable. Nasi goreng pad prik may refer specifically to the fried rice, with the sauce mixed in during cooking. Nasi is Malay for rice, and pad prik is a Thai phrase: ผัด (pad, meaning stirfry) and พริก (prik, meaning chili). Nasi pad prik can be considered ‘Malay-style Thai cuisine,’ in that it is mainly found in Malaysia, but is prepared with Thai ingredients and cooking principles.
