How to make Pad Thai Salad
Trivia The popular pad Thai salad is quite a new entrant to the Thai cuisine, the origin of which can be traced to 1930s. The then prime minister of Thailand, Field Marshal Plaek Phibunsongkhram held a public contest to find a new national noodle dish. The dish that won the contest was quite similar to the modern-day pad Thai salad. The purpose of the contest was not only to find a new dish but to weaken the influence of China by finding a substitute for wheat noodles. |
