During 'world war II', Thailand suffered a storage of rice due to less production in the rice fields, which coincided with bad flooding. In order to preserve the stocks of this previous grain, the Thai government (under Prime minister and Military dictator,"Plack Phibunsonghram) started to promote noodles instead amongst it's people. Noodles used only 50% of the grain, so were more economical and cheaper to produce. The government of Thailand in 1930 created the dish "Pad Thai", in a bid to protect the rice resources of the country.

Garlic- 4 cloves (min...
