Pad Thai actually originated from Vietnamese cuisine, but it became well-known internationally during the era of Prime Minister Plaek Phibunsongkhram, who promoted noodle dishes to reduce rice consumption in Thailand during World War II, when the country was facing economic hardship and rice was expensive.

Steps

1

Make the Pad Thai sauce: In a saucepan, combine palm sugar, salt, and tamarind paste. Simmer until the mixture thickens and tastes sweet and tangy. Set aside.
2

Heat a skillet and sauté the king oyster mushrooms until cooked. Remove and set aside.
3

In the same skillet, add a little oil and sauté the sweet preserved radish until fragrant. Add the rice noodles and a splash of water. Stir-fry until the noodles start to soften.
4

Add the prepared Pad Thai sauce and stir to combine. Add the bean sprouts and stir-fry until everything is well mixed.
5

Once the noodles and vegetables are cooked, transfer to a serving plate. Top with sautéed mushrooms, crushed peanuts, a squeeze of lime, and a sprinkle of chili powder if desired. Add cilantro if you like.
