Pad Thai is a dish of stir-fried rice noodles with eggs, fish sauce, tamarind juice, red chilli pepper, plus any combination of bean
sprouts, shrimp, chicken, or tofu, garnished with crushed peanuts and coriander. It is normally served with a piece of lime, the juice
of which can be added along with Thai condiments. In Thailand, it is also served with a piece of banana flower.
There have evolved two different styles of Pad Thai: the version most often found in the streets of Thailand, which is relatively
dry and light; and the version that seems dominant in many restaurants in the West, which may be covered in a red oil and can
be heavy tasting. Outside of Thailand, Pad Thai is one of the best-known Thai dishes, and is very popular in Thai restaurants in
America and Australia.
