Pad Thai, a dish that has become synonymous with Thai cuisine worldwide, surprisingly, has a relatively short history. It rose to prominence during World War II due to rice shortages. The Thai government promoted the use of rice noodles and launched a campaign to educate the public on how to cook them. The result was 'Pad Thai'. Despite its recent origins, this dish has become an integral part of Thai food culture, both domestically and internationally. Interestingly, the traditional recipe was adapted to use local and available ingredients, so our Vegan Pad Thai is not far off the mark, embodying the spirit of adaptability that gave birth to the original dish.
