Vegan Kanom Thai

A guide to vegan Thai desserts and snacks in Thailand

Kanom (khanom) Thai, or Thai sweets, are major players in the culinary landscape that is Thai cuisine. In comparison with European sweets, however, kanom Thai might seem daunting. If European confectionary traditions are characterised by pastries and cream, then Thai dessert culture is portrayed on a canvas of sticky rice painted with coconut, starches and fresh tropical fruits.

Often left unexplored by foreigners visiting Thailand, kanom Thai offers a beaming insight into the country's food culture. Thais are inveterate snackers with the same universal fondness for sugar found globally. But Thai sweets are unfamiliar, both in flavour and form, to many Westerners, so here is a list of more than 100 Thai desserts, candies, snacks, and sweets you might find in Thailand.

I hope this guide to Thai desserts is helpful for those wishing the navigate the sweets scene in Thailand, but this list of kanom Thai is nowhere near comprehensive. The list is, however, quite expansive, so I have broken it down into the sections below.

Jump to:
  • Sticky (Glutinous) Rice Sweets
  • Kanom Tod (Fried Sweets)
  • Kanom Nam Gati (Sweets in coconut milk) and Kanom Chuam (Sweets in Syrup)
  • Kanom Nung (Steamed Sweets) and Kanom Tom (Boiled Sweets)
  • Kanom Guan (Stirred Sweets)
  • Griddled and Grilled Sweets
  • Misc Thai Sweets and Snacks

A note on transliterations: this is a murky area, especially for me as a non-linguist. There are a few schools of thought on how Thai language should be written in the English alphabet, but for the sake of people finding my posts I tend to switch between them. For instance kanom and khanom are two variations on the same word based on two schools of transliteration.

Where the kanom may or may not be vegan or is only vegan during certain times of the year, I have added a note. I will continue to update this list as I try and learn of new Thai kanom.

Sticky (Glutinous) Rice Sweets

Mango Sticky Rice

Mango sticky rice • Khao Niao Mamuang - ข้าวเหนียวมะม่วง

A top favourite snack amongst Thais and foreigners alike, the best time of year to enjoy mango sticky rice is April through June, when the fruits are at their sweetest and juiciest. This rice portion is made by steaming glutinous rice and then finishing its cooking in sweetened coconut milk.

Rainbow Sticky Rice

Rainbow Sticky Rice • Khao Niao Mun See Rung - ข้าวเหนียวมูนสีรุ้ง

Also cooked in sweetened coconut milk, this is a more fun and colourful partner to mango (or durian) in the country's famous dessert dish. When coloured naturally, turmeric, butterfly pea, pandan, and black sticky rice, impart shades of yellow, blue, green, and purple, respectively, to the rice. You might also see a dish with 5 colours of sticky rice served with a set of sweet and savoury toppings that are not vegan.

Khao Niao Gaeo Bai Toei ข้าวเหนียวแก้

Pandan Sticky Rice • Khao Niao Gaeo Bai Toei - ข้าวเหนียวแก้วใบเตย

Also made by cooking par-steamed glutinous rice with sweet coconut milk, this sticky rice sweet also contains green pandan water (extracted from the leaves of the pandan plant, called bai toei in Thai).

Sweet Sticky Rice wth Coconut ข้าวเหนียวม

Black sticky rice with sweet coconut • Khao Niao Dam Mun Naa Grachik - ข้าวเหนียวดำมูนหน้ากระฉีก

This is another one made by blending steamed glutinous rice (typically a combination of black and white grains) with sweetened coconut milk. Then you cook shredded coconut with palm or coconut sugar before topping with rice with the caramelised coconut.

Khao Niao daeng - ข้าวเหนียวแดง Soi

Red Sticky Rice Candy • Khao Niao Daeng - ข้าวเหนียวแดง

Caramelised palm sugar mixed with sticky rice and topped with toasted sesame seeds.

Khao Dtommat

Steamed glutinous rice parcels • Khao tom mat - ข้าวต้มมัด

Sweetened glutinous coconut rice wrapped in leaf parcels. The most common will probably contain black beans, but you'll find banana, taro, and other fillings too. Banana leaf is the most common wrapping, but nipa and mangrove fan palm leaves have regional uses.

Khao niao Ping ข้าวเหนียวปิ้ง

Grilled sticky rice parcels • Khao Niao Ping ข้าวเหนียวปิ้ง

Popular fillings include banana, black, bean, corn (my favourite) and taro. I've seen durian from time to time.

Khanom khao lam ข้าวหลาม

Sweet glutinous rice in bamboo • Khanom Khao Lam - ข้าวหลาม

The perfect snack for a long bus or train journey, these tubes of sticky rice are made by mixing glutinous rice with coconut, sugar, and salt, and roasted over flame. Beans, taro, and other ingredients are often also mixed in. The gooey bits at the ends are everyone's favourite.

Kanom khao mao kluk - ข้าวเม่าคลุก

Mixed young green rice • Khao mao kluk - ข้าวเม่าคลุก

Khao mao, or pounded young green rice, can be made from jasmine or glutinous rice. Available for only a few weeks a year, these bright green grains have a slightly yeasty and breadlike aroma. Khao mao kluk is made by mixing the young rice with freshly grated coconut and toasted sesame seeds. If you find it, get it.

Khao Buk Nga (ข้าวปุ๊กงา) / Khao Nuk Nga (ข้าวหนุกงา)

Pounded sticky rice with perilla • Khao Nuk Nga - ข้าวหนุกงา

Also called khao buk gna (ข้าวปุกงา) A Lanna (Northern) kanom made by pounding glutinous rice until it is like fluffy mochi, then coating it with perilla seeds.

Kanom Khao Mao Tod ขนมข้าวเม่าทอด

Fried young green rice with banana • Kanom Khao Mao Tod - ขนมข้าวเม่าทอด

Young green rice wrapped around banana and deep fried. Any time you can eat khao mao in any form, I recommend you do. As previously mentioned, this is only readily available for a few weeks a year.

Kanom Fak Bua ขนมฝักบัว

Deep Fried Rice Flour Pancake • Kanom Fak Bua - ขนมฝักบัว

Also commonly referred to as kanom dok bua ขนมดอกบัว. Typically white or green (pandan), these deep fried pancakes puff up in the middle and the sugars caramelise around the edges. I have seen some recipes with egg, but have not found this in practice. Other names include juu jun จู้จุน (in Southern dialect) and kanom choke ขนมโช้ก (mostly in Surin province).

Kanom Dok Jok ขนมดอกจอก

Thai rosette fried cookies • Kanom Dok Jok - ขนมดอกจอก

Similar to German rosette cookies, a metal flower shaped mould is dipped in hot oil and then a slightly sweet and salty sesame batter. When the mould is placed back in the hot oil the cookies shake off and fry up. Then they are removed from the oil and placed on a round surface to make them look like blooming flowers.

Candied sweet potato nests • man rang nok - มันรังนก

These are made by cutting sweet potato into matchsticks and deep frying them. After awhile, add a knob of both butter (or margarine) and palm sugar into the oil.

Battered fried bananas• Gluay Khaek (กล้วยแขก) or Kluay Tod (กล้วยทอด)

Bananas (typically the nam waa variety) dipped in a batter made with rice flour and slaked lime solution and fried, these goodies can stay crispy for hours when fried well. The odd vendor may untraditionally use egg, so best to ask.

Kanom wong ขนมวง is a more universal version of this sweet, found outside of the North. Kanom he kuay ขนมหีควาย, which translates as "buffalo pussy snack", is another unusual name.

Pa thong ko ปาท่องโก๋
khanom see kha ขนมสี่ขา

Thai style Chinese crullers • Pa thong ko - ปาท่องโก๋ and khanom see kha ขนมสี่ขา

An ideal accompaniment to congee, pa thong ko is a type of deep fried dough fragrant with ammonia. This may not sound appetising but it is a welcome flavour. The crullers are also eaten with custard, either plain or pandan (not vegan unless indicated otherwise) and with fresh soy milk at breakfast time. Khanom see kha (four legs) is a version local to Phuket that is coated with sugar before frying.

Krayasat กระยาสารท

Popped rice and peanut bar • Krayasaat - กระยาสารท

Man Sampalang Cheum - มันสำปะหลังเชื่อม

Candied Cassava • Man Sampalang Cheum - มันสำปะหลังเชื่อม

This candied cassava syrup, typically eaten with salted coconut cream, is made by simmering cassava in sugar syrup. It's also frequently found at nam kaeng sai (iced sweet stalls) vendors. Here I am eating it with lod chong. Find a recipe for candied cassava here.

กล้วยเชื่อม Gluay Cheum

Bananas cooked in syrup • Gluay Chuam - กล้วยเชื่อม

Vendors have a dozen or more (sometimes many more) toppings to be served with ice.

Diced water chestnuts are soaked in red dye or syrup, coated with tapioca starch, and boiled to resemble large pomegranate seeds. This is then served with ice, coconut milk, and sugar syrup.

Sweet and salty fish and turtle eggs • Kanom Plaa Grim Kai Dao - ขนมปลากริมไข่เต่า

Yes, the name of this dish translates to plaa grim (a type of fish) and turtle eggs. There are two halves to this dessert, a sweet palm sugar syrup and salty coconut cream. This dish illustrates perfectly how salt and sugar complement each other.

Lod Chong ลอดช่อง

Pandan noodles in coconut milk • Lod Chong - ลอดช่อง

Made in the same way as the kanom dok mai above, this is more savoury than sweet. This isn't uncommon with kanom, which is more an indication of a snack than a sweet. Giam goi are steamed rice flour cakes with various toppings. Often they are not vegan, so look out for these at vegan businesses and during the vegetarian festival. The toppings here are fried shallots with a sweet, sour, salty, and spicy sauce.

Kanom Pui Fai Jay - ขนมปุยฝ้าย

ขนมเปียกปูน Khanom Piak Boon

Pandan and charcoal pudding • Kanom Piak Boon - ขนมเปียกปูน

Hello, I am the first person in the room to call bullshit on the health claims about charcoal, but these are delicious. The alkalinity of hydrolysed lime imparts an eggy flavour and the coconut husk charcoal is used for the black version gives a pleasant gritty texture. The green is made with pandan.

Kanon Gee Gooi (บนมกีโก๊ย)

Alkaline sweets • Kanom Gee Gooi - ขนมกีโก้ย

Also called Tee Nya Kuih (Malay), this sweet is yellow from the addition of alkaline water (lye) and dye, which also imparts an eggy flavour. It is served with a brown sugar syrup. The word gee goi is from the original Hokkien dialect. This sweet is local to Phuket and is uncommon.

Wun Met Manglak - วุ้นเม็ดแมงลัก

While this is typically made with agar, I have seen some recipes using gelatin, but it'll almost always be made with agar as this is traditional.

I believe these are gluay (also kluay) kai, or egg bananas, named for their small size. They are simmered in coconut syrup and served with salted coconut cream. You may also see red bananas in syrup, their colour obtained by from a chemical reaction with hydrolysed lime they are soaking in before cooking.

My favourite lod chong in all Bangkok is dished up by a small stall in Chatuchak market and here is a map link. Here you have an option to have it with black sticky rice, which I recommend.

The condensed milk pictured is no longer in production, and it's extremely common to find dairy condensed milk at the festival, so always check first.

Pakistani Style Roti •roti Pakistan - โรตีปากีสถาน

While the roti above was thin, large, and rolled, these are Pakistani roti found in Hat Yai during the vegetarian festival. I had mine drenched in vegan condensed milk.

Soft bread • Kanom Pang - ขนมปัง

Often not vegan, kanom pang involves soft white bread smeared with margarine and sugar or other sweet stuff. It's a favourite snack in Thailand.
