Description
Pad Thai is the quintessential Thai street food noodle dish. It’s a perfect harmony of sweet, sour, and savory flavors, with a wonderful mix of textures from soft rice noodles, crunchy peanuts, and fresh bean sprouts. This recipe gives you the authentic taste with a sauce made from tamarind, fish sauce, and palm sugar. It's a quick, delicious, and satisfying one-pan meal.
A Taste of History
Despite its international fame, Pad Thai is not an ancient dish. It was created in the 1930s in Thailand during a period of nationalism. The government, led by Prime Minister Plaek Phibunsongkhram, promoted the rice noodle dish to establish a national identity and to reduce domestic rice consumption. It quickly became a staple and is now one of the most famous Thai dishes worldwide.
