what type of noodle is traditionally used in pad thai

The type of noodle traditionally used in Pad Thai is thin rice noodles. These noodles are flat and wide, and are stir-fried with eggs, chopped firm tofu, tamarind juice, fish sauce, dried shrimp, garlic, shallots, and palm sugar. While other types of noodles can be substituted in a pinch, such as wide flat noodles, thin rice noodles are the most commonly used and authentic option.
