Pad Thai is a popular dish of stir-fried rice noodles that’s sold on nearly every soi (street) corner, from the bustling metropolis of Bangkok to the provinces and villages populated with 70 million locals. And also one of the most popular dishes ordered at Thai restaurants is “Pad Thai”.
The basic ingredients in a traditional Pad Thai are rice noodles stir-fried with tofu, eggs, and a sauce made with tamarind paste, fish sauce, dried shrimp, garlic, chiles, and palm sugar (which is often less refined than cane sugar). Pad Thai is characterized by rich, vibrant flavors, from funky (fish sauce and dried shrimp), to sour (fresh tamarind paste), to sweet (palm sugar).
Recipes for Pad Thai vary, but there's almost always a base of wide rice noodles, a generous sprinkle of crushed peanuts on top, and a lime wedge served alongside. The addition of a quick, wok-scrambled egg and a pile of fresh bean sprouts are also part of most versions of the dish.
