Pad Thai

My Favourite Food <(^-^)>

Pad Thai

Pad Thai or phat Thai is a stir-fried rice noodle dish commonly served as a street food and at casual local eateries in Thailand.


It is made with soaked dried rice noodles, which are stir-fried with eggs and chopped firm tofu, and flavored with tamarind pulp, fish sauce, dried shrimp, garlic or shallots, red chili pepper and palm sugar, and served with lime wedges and often chopped roast peanuts.

 
 It may also contain other vegetables like bean sprouts, garlic chives, coriander leaves, pickled radishes or turnips, and raw banana flowers.

 
 It may also contain fresh shrimp, crab, chicken or another protein.

 
 Vegetarian versions may substitute soy sauce for the fish sauce and omit the shrimp.


Pad Thai is listed at number 5 on World's 50 most delicious foods readers' poll compiled by CNN Go in 2011.


My father is a big fan of Thai cuisine. He knows what is the real taste of authentic Thai food, and
have a high expectation for it. He taught me the best way to eat pad thai and where I should buy.
