Pad Thai sauce recipe?

[Ginger Snap]

My family loves pad thai, but I can't seem to find a recipe for the sauce that I like to make at home. Does anyone here have one that they use and like? I'm really looking for one someone has used before, ya know? :smile:

Mmm I :heart: Pad Thai! We went out for Thai food on Friday, and I couldn't get Pad Thai because they premix the sauce with the noodles, and the soy sauce they use had wheat in it. :ravn: I ended up getting something else that was DELICIOUS! (I can't think of the name...clear noodles with some fish sauce and veggies and chicken...YUM!) Can't wait to go back! :drool:

looks insanely complicated just to gather the ingredients, unless you live near an Asian Grocer.

I just run some peanut butter & Canceaux sauce through the blender.

his recipe does look much more complicated than I've made.

this is about all there is to it.

sauce: tamarind pulp, fish sauce, palm sugar, and thai chilli powder (don't make it too sweet)
noodles: thin rice noodle (soaked to soften)
tofu: extra firm tofu (pressed and lightly fried)
peanuts: roasted and unsalted, ground (not to peanut butter)
egg: 1 per 2 servings
beansprouts: 1/2 cup per serving


other than needing to pick up some beansprouts, i keep this stuff on hand. Once you start using these flavors, you want them more often.

thai basil is another one i use a lot of
