What is Pad Thai?
Pad Thai is a stir-fry of rice noodles, eggs, tofu, and meat with a sweet and sour-salty and mildly spicy sauce and toppings of peanuts, fresh veggies, and cilantro, which are occasionally served on the side. Dried shrimp and fish sauce (which you can’t taste) are common ingredients in pad Thai sauce. Pad Thai may not seem like your typical noodle dish at first, but the result is a mouthwatering noodle dish that’s as excellent as they come.
Pad Thai first appeared in Thailand in the mid-twentieth century, using Chinese components and techniques.
