kind. But mostly it is used for garnish. It releases herby oil over
fried garlic chili on the heat. KraProw, on the right, will give even more complex
smell and flavors. It gives you basil flavor plus hay and a little
spice.

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666;">This
is my take on pad thai recipe. What I put here is my preferences. The
recipe call for either fresh or dried noodle. In this recipe, I
preferably use fresh rice noodle over the dried one. I wanted the end
result fresh and chewy noodle. Nothing right, nothing wrong, it's all
about our personal preference. If you could find the fresh pho
noodle, use it. The fresh pho noodle is best for pad thai. You pay a
little more, but it will paid off in the end. We will pre-made the
sauce before hand. Pre-made sauce will make cooking pad thai easy and
delicious. I hope you enjoy the taste of pad thai made with this
recipe.</span> </span>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">There
are so many pad thai recipes out there. Each individual recipe has
its own unique flavor reflecting the taste of the cook. I had my
first pad thai way way back to my very young age. The first pad thai
was colorless. I remembered watching, a pad thai vendor, Pa Uan
(aunty Uan) cooked her pad Thai using fresh thin rice noodle on a
charcoal stove call Tao Ung Lo. She had never in hurry. I saw a lot
of people waiting on the line waiting for a simple but yet delicious
thin rice noodle slowly cooked on the wok. It took total half of an
hour to get an order of pad thai from Pa Uan. It was wrapped in green
banana leaves and a sheet of newpaper jacket. Years later, I
remembered another pad thai vendor popped up her pad thai stall not
far from Pa Uan. Pe Boon (sister Boon) was making pad thai slightly
different from the iconic vendor in a small town. Her pad thai had
color added into it. Her reddish pad thai cooked on gas stove and
using dried noodle that soaked and drained before cooking. The new
comer's pad thai became popular shortly after start up. Pe Boon made
pad thai sauce before hand. The pad thai lover line up and the
waiting time at her noodle stall was cut more than half, but more
count of the wraps had been done.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">When did
you hear about pad thai.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I first
heard history of pad thai long time ago. But when I have to put
together in writing, I have done some research for its accuracy. This
is what I have found. Pad Thai history began in the between 1938-
1957. Thai government under field marshal Plaek Piboonsongkarm, the
3<sup>rd</sup> prime minister of Thailand, wanted to modernized the
country during the World War II. His strategy was set to demonstrate
the strength and unity of Thai. A part of his strategy included
developing and distributing a thai noodle, Pad Thai, with completely
Thai food profile across the nation. This noodle was replacing the
popular chinese noodle sold in Thailand by chinese migrated to
Thailand at that time. You can find out more following the links in references below. I found all the articles
point to Piboonsongkarm's era and even the recipe had been developed
in his kitchen. We have to thank you him of introducing pad thai to
not only his people but Thai food fan around the world. I wouldn't be
surprised, if I heard Pad Thai Piboonsongkarm in the future in
recognize of his name.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Chinese migrated to Siam during the World War. They were not only landed in Thailand, but also brought their knowledge of making noodles with them.

Then vegetable oil will be rubbed on the thinly made film before another one stacking up. Layer after layer will make noodles. By the time using Kuay Teow, we have to cut and peel them into a long stripe one layer familiar looking noodle. In combination with Thai cooking techniques of browning garlic and seasonings, the Pad See Ew was born. Probably this is the best part of the wars that pushing Kuay Teow going across country to Thai deliciousness.</span></div>
