From the Test Kitchen

Savory, saucy, stir-fried noodles, known as “pad thai” in Thailand, are incredibly popular. Though the dish itself is said to have originated in China, it spread throughout Thailand in the 1930s and 1940s as street food. Using local ingredients and produce, Thai cooks transformed the dish’s flavor profile into what we recognize today. With peanuts, lime juice, ginger, chile sauce and coconut milk, this simple stir-fry has an array of harmonious flavors. What’s more, it’s easy to make, a quick and delicious meal perfect for any season.
