Pad Thai is one of the world’s most beloved noodle dishes made with soaked dried rice noodles, which are stir-fried with shrimp, chicken, fried tofu, eggs and Pad Thai sauce.
The noodles are topped with crushed peanuts and served with fresh chives, lime wedges, with condiments such as sugar, fish sauce and chili powder on the side.
A Pad Thai noodle is thought by some to have been introduced to Ayutthaya during the time of the Ayutthaya Kingdom by Chinese traders and subsequently altered to reflect Thai flavor profiles.
It’s a common street food in Thailand and one of the most popular menu items at Thai restaurants around the country.
