Thai Satay, a pork broche marinated with peanut sauce, is popular
both in food stands and street markets, where you can buy just one stick of
satay, or as many as you can eat, as well as in fancy restaurants in Thailand,
Malaysia and South East Asia.
Spring Rolls, made with rice paper, vegetables and a dipping sauce,
are a favorite Thai appetizer.
Pad Thai
is of Vietnamese origin, which uses Pho noodles and Chinese ingredients. In
Vietnam, it is called Phở
Xào, meaning "stir fried Pho," a popular street food, with sate (garlic,
peanuts, and chiles), mung bean sprouts, meat of some sort, scallions, and
fish sauce, often served with pickled vegetables. The dish was said to be
imported to the ancient Thai capital city of Ayuthaya by Viet traders, and
was then altered to reflect the Thai flavor profile and assigned a name
reflecting its newly acquired Thai character.
The dish was made popular in Thailand by
Luang Phibunsongkhram, the prime
minister during the late 1930s and 1940s, and renamed to Pad Thai as part of
his campaign to promote Thai nationalism and centralization, seeking to
reduce domestic rice consumption. The Thai economy was heavily dependent on
rice exports, and the prime minister hoped to increase the amount for
available to export by encouraging Thais to make and sell rice noodles from
street carts and in small restaurants. Pad Thai has since become one of
Thailand's national dishes.
