Pad Thai is a popular stir-fried noodle dish from Thailand, with a history dating back to the 1930s. It was created as part of a nationalistic campaign to promote Thai identity and has since become a global favorite. The dish typically includes rice noodles, tofu, shrimp, peanuts, bean sprouts, and a tangy tamarind sauce. Chefs like Thipsamai in Bangkok are renowned for their exceptional Pad Thai. The best versions of this dish can be found in Thailand, particularly in Bangkok and Chiang Mai. The key to a great Pad Thai lies in the balance of sweet, sour, and salty flavors, and the use of fresh, high-quality ingredients.
