Pad Thai - the national dish from Thailand - comes in a wide variety of variations. The noodle dish, also known as Phat Thai, contains rice noodles as its main ingredient. Fish sauce, eggs and peanuts are also a must.
It is easy and quick to prepare and is so special thanks to the balanced aroma of hot, sour, sweet and salty ingredients. Especially with the hearty variant, the topping is usually the highlight of the dish: A mix of peanuts, coriander leaves, lime and spring onions rounds off the dish.
In Thailand nowadays there is a fine variant of the dish, which is served fried in red oil in the finer restaurants. The more ordinary Pad Thai, which is dry and light, is also available at many street stalls.
Try such a delicious Pad Thai yourself. How about a Pad Thai with prawns or with chicken breast, for example?
