Traditional mainstream pad thai calls for taohu khaeng which literally means firm bean curd. However, there are different types of firm bean curd. For pad thai, the right kind of firm bean curd should be specified as dry or extra firm bean curd which has the firmness of full-cooked meat similar to paneer, the Indian solid cheese.
