First introduced to Thailand by their prime minister during a period of ultra-nationalism in the wake of the 1932 revolution, this dish was created to solidify the country\u2019s identity and culture. Today, even with rice being the most traditional food in Thailand, Pad Thai has become their iconic dish and a staple in Bangkok, while also being modified in several countries that offer their own original twist.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Pad Thai offers a combination of textures and it is known for using all five tastes; salty, sour, sweet, spicy and bitter. However, the base of its preparation is the rice noodle, which was found in Chinese cuisine and it is stir-fried before being mixed with the rest of the ingredients, such as tofu, eggs and dried shrimp.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The key to a successful Pad Thai is a hot wok or pan that can prevent its ingredients from sticking, as well as the use of fresh ingredients and herbs, such as shallot, garlic, dried chillies. Make sure your pan is at the highest setting before cooking and lay out all the ingredients within easy reach to make sure you are prepared to stir quickly. <\/span>Would you like to cook the perfect Pad Thai?
