The chances of a Thai person choosing pad thai as their favorite Thai dish are rare. In a vast culinary canon that includes som tam and tom yum soup, pad thai pales in comparison, but has become emblematic of Thai cuisine among non-Thais.
Different regions in Thailand have their own versions of pad thai, evolving from a simple rice noodle dish in the past. While traditional elements like dried shrimp and roasted peanuts are key, using tomato paste or ketchup is no longer an acceptable adaptation.
