When we talk about soul food, mine is Thai food, yes it does hurt even thinking of this as I am on a diet and this is diet buster.... but believe me, nothing makes me happier that a well cooked Pad Thai. Fish sauce or Nam Pla is the key flavoring ingredient in Thai food and also hold importance in this recipe . For people who like meats in their pad thai one can add some sauteed prawns and chicken to it as well. Tamarind too is very important as it adds the piquant flavor way better than any vinegar .
