[其他飲食] Question about Pad Thai about

布小熊

Anyone knows that if Pad Thai should be spicy or not?
I know the basic of it consist of tamarind, fish sauce and palm sugar.
Should it has other spices? Should it be spciy at all?

Thanks!

I don't mean the N. American style.
I mean the authentic one in Thailand or here.
Cos I had one that was just sweet and sour and had no sign of any chili.

I see. Well the one I had yesterday had good balance of the 3 elements but not very good wok "air".
However, I asked for spciy and the server said sure, she would bring chili on the side.
And I ended up getting some "veitnamese red chili paste" (the one with the chicken on the label)
@@ that totally threw me off!

Thanks guys!
I think the ONLY weird part of the Pad Thai I had was... The Rooster chili paste.
Otherwise, that Pad Thai has good balance. May be I will bring my own chili to add to it next time.

The 4 elements of Thai seasoning:
Sweet, saltiness, sour and heat, that
make it distinctive
