Pad Thai

Hello friends,

Today I will share with you the National dish of Thailand "Pad Thai". Before sharing the recipe would like to share you the story behind the dish. Hope you all will like it. 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. The campaign included changing the country's name, commissioning a new national anthem and creating a national dish "Pad Thai".
