How to make Tamarind Sauce ?

Tamarind sauce is one of Thai spice that make nicer taste. We use sour Tamarind. Why don't we use lemon? Because Tamarind have softer sour taste. When add in some food it will be sweet and a little bit sour. That why we use tamarind. But lemon have strong sour taste we use for the menu that have strong taste such as Som Tam, Yam, Tomyam, etc...

The way to make it very easy. Just steep it water(just enough for your menu) or boil it then keep it in the freezer. I think it's cheaper than buy a Pack of Tamarind sauce. And make sure you have 100% Tamarind sauce. Tamarind good for healthy. :)

How to cook Pad Thai

I though every one know Pad Thai. It's a famous Thai food. I like to eat it with Som Tam or Papaya salat. But i'm not cook well for this menu. So I find another one tell you. I used to tried to cook it. but it's not good. My mom and my sister is good about it.

Main ingredient;
1. Rice noodle
2. Tamarind sauce for pad thai (you can see in VDO as below).
3. Seasoning

For another things such as fresh/dried shrimp, firm tofu, egg you can ignore it if you don't have.
Some time I cook it with out that but I eat with another food. Thai food is not single dish so you can eat with any thai food. :)




Cooking tips;
1. The most important of delicious Pad Thai is Tamarind Sauce.
2. For Noodle you can change to be Cellophane noodle or another type of Thai noodle. But you have to soak in water till it soft. The time of soaking is depend on noodle type, mostly is about 15-30 minutes. After that mix with a little bit of oil that make it not stick together. :)
3. Soak dried shrimp before cooking. It will be soft and nicer taste.
