Answer by  jyh634 (157)

Pad Thai is normally made with rice noodles, some sort of protein (normally chicken or tofu), egg, chili, tamarind, and lime. It is also normally flavored with fish sauce, which is a unique Thai sauce similar to soy sauce. Pad Thai in the United States is often made with peanut butter, but this is exceedingly rare in Thailand.
