What is Pad Thai?
Pad Thai is a stir-fried rice noodle dish with eggs, bean sprouts, ground peanuts, and shrimp (or chicken). It's usually served with lime wedges and chilli sauce on the side.
In addition, Pad Thai has five distinct tastes: salty, sweet, bitter, sour, and spicy.
What Country Is Pad Thai from?
Pad Thai is a Thai dish, but it's become popular all over the world with many fusion adaptations.
Who Invented Pad Thai?
Stir-fried noodles have been a part of Thai cuisine for millennia, with roots dating back to the Ayutthaya Kingdom. After that, local specialties were added to modify the flavour of stir-fried noodles to suit Thai food.
However, it was not until World War II that a rice shortage prompted the creation of Pad Thai as a popular Thai meal. The Thai government urged people to substitute pasta for rice in order to minimize the strain on supplies. It wasn't long before Pad Thai was created in its most basic form, and there are still some vendors in Thailand who continue to sell the traditional version of Pad Thai.
What's the connection between Toronto Pho and Pad Thai?
So, how did a Pho restaurant with the word "Pho" in their name end up known for their pad Thai? The answer is straightforward: it's Pad Thai like you've never tasted before, and it's genuinely wonderful.
Despite the fact that we are recognized for our piping hot bowls of pho and clever branding, we are also well-known for our Pad Thai.
We constantly get comments like "best we've ever had" after posting a photo of our Pad Thai and we can't help but agree.
What makes Toronto Pho's Pad Thai so special?
It's all in the sauce. Traditional Pad Thai is not as saucy. Our Pad Thai sauce has a strong lemongrass flavour and it coats the rice noodles perfectly.
We also use big pieces of deep-fried tofu which adds an amazing crunchy texture to this dish. The tofu also soaks up all of that delicious sauce! Pro- Tip always ask for extra tofu. You can truly never have enough of it with our version of Pad Thai.
Our version of Pad Thai takes you on a culinary journey to flavour town. Did you know we roast all of our own peanuts? We serve them with every order chunky, fresh, and full of flavour. We take pleasure in knowing that all of our sauces and toppings are prepared and prepped in-house.
We've tried our sauce on chicken wings and they were a success! Pad Thai Chicken Wings, you'd better remember where you heard it first because it's going to take over the Toronto food scene.
