How is Pad Thai Noodle used in Thai cooking?

Pad Thai noodles are flat rice noodles made from rice flour and water, sometimes with a little starch for extra chew and shine. Their story is bound up with the dish itself: during a World War II rice shortage, the Thai government promoted Chinese-style noodles to cut rice use, and a new national noodle dish - Pad Thai - was born as the country renamed itself from Siam to Thailand. Soaked soft, then stir-fried fast, they're the springy base that carries the dish's sweet-sour-salty sauce.
