If you can get past the more popular pad Thai holding first place on Rai Lay’s menu, you’ll discover this star of Northern Thailand street food cuisine. Layers of flavor and texture come together in this mildly spiced dish, which starts with chewy noodles swimming in an aromatic coconut-curry broth and finishes with fried shallots, bean sprouts, cilantro, red onion slices, crispy noodles, and a lime wedge.
