Instructions

  1. Combine all ingredients in a cup or small bowl, using the lower measurement for chile sauce and sugar initially.

  2. Stir thoroughly until the tamarind paste and sugar completely dissolve.

  3. Taste the sauce, aiming for a sweet-first, then spicy-salty, and finally sour balance; adjust sugar and chile sauce as needed, noting the flavor will mellow when mixed with noodles.

  4. Use immediately or store the pad thai sauce in a sealed container in the refrigerator.
