pad thai
Tamarind-sauced rice noodles
Pad thai is a Thai stir-fried noodle dish made with rice noodles, eggs, tofu or shrimp, bean sprouts, and peanuts, dressed in a tangy-sweet sauce of tamarind, fish sauce, and palm sugar.
It became Thailand's national dish in the mid-20th century and is now ubiquitous in Thai restaurants worldwide: We ordered pad thai and green curry.
