Pad Thai

- Two kinds of Pad Thai: Tomato-or tamarind-based or fish sauce-based
- Pad Thai eaten during WWII to reduce rice consumption
- Pad Thai traditionally served with a banana flower
- Also called Phad Thai
- Even without chicken or shrimp, Pad Thai is not usually vegetarian because it contains fish sauce

Pad Thai is a Thai dish made with stir-fried rice noodles, eggs, chili sauce, garlic and sauce. It is served with combinations of the following: chicken, shrimp, tofu, bean sprouts, scallions, crushed peanuts, cilantro and/or a wedge of lime.
Pad Thai's Popularity

The Pad Thai found in America is generally heavier than the lighter version found in Thailand, but it is a very popular dish in both America and Australia. It is perhaps the best known Thai dish outside of Thailand. Pad Thai translates across cultures well because it is not very spicy, and it has recognizable ingredients like peanuts, egg and chicken.
