pad thai noodles
Bangkok street food
Pad thai noodles are flat rice noodles used in the Thai stir-fried dish pad thai, typically tossed with eggs, tofu or shrimp, bean sprouts, peanuts, and a tangy-sweet tamarind sauce.
The noodles themselves are thin, slightly chewy, and pale in color.
The term sometimes refers to the complete dish rather than just the noodles: We ordered pad thai noodles for takeout.
