The EASIEST & BEST Pad Thai SAUCE You'll EVER Need

Years ago we made a video on making Pad Thai, today we'll be updating that recipe by showing you how to make a shallot infused Pad Thai sauce that's the easiest and best. This sauce can be kept in the fridge, when you need to use it only 3-4 Tbsp will ensure your Pad Thai is out of this world.
These amounts will give you a fairly large containers worth of sauce, if you want less just halve the amounts.
Here's the recipe:
400g Tamarind pulp
500g Palm sugar
500g Sliced shallots
200g White sugar
4-5 Tbsp Salt
Coconut oil
As with all Asian cooking this is a rough guide with regards to amounts, adjust for your own taste and spice tolerance.
If you want to make it spicier then toast birds eye chillies instead of large sweet chilli.
Good luck and let us know how you get on.
Enjoy!!!!!!!

Thank you. Looks so good. I appreciate your sharing from your years of skilled cooking. We are blessed to learn from you. It appears you still offer love in your food preparations.

You're very welcome Alex, let us know if there's a certain recipe that you're after.

I’m glad you’re showing the dried tamarind. I can’t stand the tamarind paste with all those extra things in it. Just tamarind! Yes!

[@polosandoval]

Frying the shallots to add at the end is brilliant. I used the infused oil to make the noodle. Excellent technique and flavour.

[@wookiewolf1421]

I can't believe after working in a thai restaurant for many years I had to go to KZbin for a reminder in how the Fook I made the padthai sauce thank you pi that's the real stuff only thing I added was the dried shrimp and pickled radishes.

[@maestoso47]

Thank you for this authentic, but different pad Thai sauce. I appreciate the simplicity because of my dietary preferences and also because usually at restaurants base sauces are made with the least allergens (that’s how it’s here in the US). I’m appalled at the rude comments.

[@FitousThaiKitchen]

Thanks for your kind comment, yes this sauce is a simpler version as we don't feel that pad thai needs to be overly fussy and complicated. We usually recommend pad thai for those customers that have a gluten free diet or are coeliac. We don't add the fish sauce as we want to be able to use the sauce for our vegan customers and feel that it's not necessary. Don't worry about the rude comments it's all part and parcel of being on these kind of platforms, we don't let it bother us. Thanks for watching.

can we omit the white sugar since there's palm sugar already? can we use the fried shallots sold in plastic containers at Asian stores?

[@marietewhare4783]

[@magmae4284]

Greetings Chef. I truly enjoyed this cooking lesson. Thank you! Question for you. @ minute 1:21 you have portioned white cane sugar 200g for the recipe. @ minute 4:52 you add 4 tablespoons salt to the Tamarind sauce. @ minute 5:22 you mention at this point you can add more sugar if you like more sweet. So to clarify that I understand fully the required ingredients the White Sugar is optional. If I want my sauce sweeter use the cane sugar to my personal liking. Here in your demonstration you left out the 200g of white sugar. I was just a bit confused as to why you did not add that ingredient to the final sauce. Thank you again for the lesson. I love Pad Thai and Taiwanese food.

[@FitousThaiKitchen]

Apologies, you definitely need to add the 200g of white sugar along with the palm sugar. Otherwise the palm sugar will become bitter if stir for too long without the white sugar. When stating that you can add more if you prefer it sweeter that is surplus to the recipe depending on how you like it. Apologies for the confusion. I'll make sure she doesn't slip anything in off camera.

[@krismeaney2841]

@@FitousThaiKitchen I always wondered why white sugar is added in addition to the palm sugar, thank you for clarifying this. I see others that do not do this.

[@lizh4933]

Going to have to 1/4 the sauce. Thank you lovely lady. How long it lasts in the fridge?

[@FitousThaiKitchen]

At least a month. Otherwise, if you want you can use an ice cube tray and freeze it, just pop out a few when you need it.

[@ropeburn6684]

Brotip: once it has cooled down a bit, but is still hot, put it in the jar (pour slowly in small portions to be safe), close the jar and put it upside down. The heat then disinfects the lid and it'll last longer. Also only dry spoons to get some out, if you use wet spoons itbcan get moldy.

Does anybody know how to make the sticky sweet pad thai that gets crunchy when you cook it long?

[@huongnguyen1979]

Hi In your receipt have 200 gr white sugar, do we need add in or not And then 400 gr tamirind pulp add with 4 litter water is that correct?

[@huongminh]

It taste better when you add a bit of white sugar in addition to palm sugar.

สำหรับผัดไทยผมว่าขาดกุ้งแห้งครับ การใส่ต้นหอมแทนผักกุ้ยฉ่ายก็ให้กลิ่นและรสชาดต่างกันมากทีเดียว แต่ก็เข้าใจครับว่าอยู่ต่างประเทศคงหายากหน่อย ส่วนซอสผัดไทยนั้นถ้านำไปเคี่ยวต่อให้ข้นๆนำไปราดบนเมนูไข่ลูกเขยได้เลยน่ะเนี่ย

[@farawayfiruz2915]

ใช่ค่ะ เราไม่ได้ใส่กุ้งแห้ง ที่นี่ค่อนข้างแพง ฝรั่งไม่ค่อยกินด้วยค๊ะ ขอบคุณสำหรับคำแนะนำนะคะ

[@RSWDev]

When I watched the video I was surprised by how many essential ingredients were lacking. I can find most of these ingredients in Texas, USA as there is a large Asian population nowadays. I would have thought London would have all these ingredients too, but if the customers aren’t noticing a difference then it’s probably alright to skip ingredients. Restaurant is a very different business than home cooking after all.

[@annajacob3414]

For those who do not want to make it such a large quantity can u please give measurements for smaller quality.

[@FitousThaiKitchen]

Hi thanks for watching, as stated in the description you can just halve the amounts to make a smaller portion.

[@gchow6009]

How much squeezed tamarind juice yielded after soaking?

[@FitousThaiKitchen]

2.5 litres

[@aziaazia540]

[@FitousThaiKitchen]

No sorry we're in London

[@hectorcuevas6497]

So Why no fish souce?

[@FitousThaiKitchen]

It's not necessary, plus we have vegetarian and vegan customers. With everything going on in a padthai you wouldn't notice.

[@_Wanh_]

Everyone keeps commenting “no fish sauce?” Just read the comments before questioning!

[@FitousThaiKitchen]

Thank you lol

[@mspangv]

How much water do you use to soak the tamarind?

[@FitousThaiKitchen]

The actual amount doesn't matter too much as when boiling, the water will reduce through evaporation, leaving the sauce. Too much water is better than too little.

[@ryanwdavies1]

Location?

[@FitousThaiKitchen]

West London

[@DonggilChoi-vo8jz]

any saltiness ingredients? fish sauce or soy sauce

[@FitousThaiKitchen]

I would go fish sauce or just salt

[@FitousThaiKitchen]

Although I find that if you use a store brought sauce you will taste the fish sauce more, if a home cooked sauce the flavour of the sauce will be stronger and will conceal the fish sauce

[@ax8038]

this is real Pad Thai. Sweet, sour, salty. there are not chilli in it. that is added at the table, like she does/ on the side. I hate when they put chili in it.

[@FitousThaiKitchen]

Do you know the sticky sweet pad thai? It's actually gets crunchy If it's cooked Longer... I'm trying to find that online In Chicago there's a Thai food restaurant that makes it that way I want to know how to do it in my own home in California

[@krismeaney2841]

Why salt and not fish sauce?

[@FitousThaiKitchen]

Purely for vegans and vegetarians that come to our restaurant, you can use fish sauce if you want. The fish sauce is there for the saltiness, if your pad thai is really flavourful, you won't notice the fish sauce. So rather than adding fish sauce you can just add salt.

@@FitousThaiKitchen The combination of the fish sauce, tamarind, vinegar, lime juice and coconut sugar and the dry shrimp is what makes it authentic Thai. This mixture is to incorporate, sweet, sour, bitter, pungent, and acid to this dish.

[@mickmouse5715]

Everything is with too much sugar.

[@FitousThaiKitchen]

It's pad Thai, it needs to be sour and sweet, you're only using a couple of Tbsp of the sauce when cooking

[@tobymichal6552]

Then reduce it to to your taste... that's all.

If that’s real palm sugar. It’s healthier than the processed, bleached, GMO sugar in US. She’s making for numerous plates. Not just one!

[@InfectAion]

This is not authentic Pad Thai, also thai people dont eat with chopsticks 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@FitousThaiKitchen]

There's literally a Thai person in the video using chopsticks. Generally, they do prefer using a spoon and fork, but do use chopsticks for takeaway Noodles as it's easier to eat with one hand, and noodle soups.

[@InfectAion]

@@FitousThaiKitchen so next time if I see some american using chopsticks while eating a burger it would define their general eating-culture?! Surely not.

Well, you're the one that said the sweeping statement that Thai people don't use chopsticks. I don't remember saying anything to the contrary in the video. You're only commenting on the fact that there is a Thai person using chopsticks in the video, that was her choice and obviously is not us saying that Thai people have to use chopsticks.
