Pad Thai is a vibrant Thai stir-fried rice noodle dish with shrimp, tofu, and eggs tossed in a tangy tamarind sauce, brightened by lime and peanuts. Crisp bean sprouts and scallions add freshness, while crushed peanuts provide a satisfying crunch. Quick to cook yet rich in balanced sweet, sour, and savory flavors, it’s a beloved street-food classic.
