Interesting Facts -
The Pad Thai noodles recipe was voted as number five on the list of the “World’s 50 most delicious foods” compiled by CNN Go in 2011. There are films such as the Thai “Jao saao Pad Thai,” whose theme revolves around this popular dish, where the main plot involves the protagonist claiming she would marry only the one who eats her pad Thai recipe for 100 days in a row. One of the stories surrounding the origin of phad Thai noodles is that during World War II, Thailand suffered a massive rice shortage. To reduce the consumption of rice, the Thai Government promoted noodles as a meal instead. The dish also became a kind of cultural and culinary symbol of that nation. Since then, pad Thai has become one of the national dishes of the country. For variety, some vendors add pork as a substitute for other protein - a tradition that’s still followed today. This wonderful dish can also be made into a vegetarian Pad Thai recipe that tastes equally good and wholesome.
