Pad Thai

关于这道菜

Thailand's most iconic noodle dish, born when Field Marshal Plaek Phibunsongkhram promoted it as a national dish after WWII to unify the country through food. Flat rice noodles are wok-tossed at screaming heat with a precise balance of tamarind sourness, palm sugar sweetness, and fish sauce saltiness, alongside shrimp, tofu, egg, and bean sprouts. Squeeze fresh lime over the top, mix in crushed peanuts, and add chili flakes to taste — each diner seasons their own portion at the table.
