HOW TO MAKE PAD THAI | AUTHENTIC PAD THAI SAUCE

I show you how to make Pad Thai Sauce from scratch using just a few ingredients and then how to make a classic Shrimp Pad Thai dish using the sauce. Pad Thai is the most iconic noodle dish from Thailand. It has a balance of sweet, sour, and salty, with a few textural ingredients that make this noodle addicting.

💡TIPS for PAD THAI
1. Make 1 serving (the most, 2 servings) of Pad Thai at a time. You will be able to control the texture of the noodles better. If you cook too much noodles at once, there's a risk the noodles will either become too mushy or undercooked.
2. Prep all of the Pad Thai ingredients before you start stir frying the noodles. The Pad Thai stir-frying process is very quick, about 7-10 minutes (including cooking the protein).
3. Pad Thai is best eaten right away. Make it as close as you can to the time it will be eaten. It loses it's textures and vibrancy the following day.
4. When making Pad Thai Sauce, have your windows open because the fish sauce may stink up the room.
5.The Pad Thai Sauce can last well in the fridge for up to 3 months. It's nice to have Pad Thai Sauce on hand and ready to use.
6.DON'T BE AFRAID to adjust the flavors of the sauce to your liking. With all of the variations of Pad Thai these days, have fun making it your own and adjusting it to how you like it.

Who likes Pad Thai here 🤚? More tips on making Pad Thai in the description box. Take care 🙏

[@caudao7756]

I'm a little confused on how much tamarind to use for the sauce. I bought a jar of tamarind paste.

[@ThunThunChannel]

@@caudao7756 Are you using Tamarind concentrate? If so, you can use 1.5 cups. Taste and adjust the sauce as the sourness may be a bit different from Tamarind pulp. The sauce should be a balance of sweet, sour, and salty.

[@sway2877]

Can the frozen tamarind pulp be used? If so, how much of this can be used?

[@sopiapandi2582]

I'm your fan

I fell for pad thai the very first time it touched my taste buds in a NYC restaurant whose white gloved waiters also wear white aprons. The dedicated parking of international diplomatic plated vehicles seemed bullet proofed (it was pointed out to me). I had rose ice cream too. Eversince, that taste of Pad Thai eludes me , driving me frustrated. Genuinely fresh ingredients made the difference I think.

[@jaesun4418]

Ahhh a new subscriber here! 😊 I'm going to find those ingredients, I can't wait! ✨ I'm already drooling! This is my comfort food somehow when I was in college in another country even if I'm not Thai.

My to go place after clinical rotation or after heavy cases is this homey Thai place in one of the biggest mall in Asia. That's how I fell in love with Thai food and culture. But when I went back here in the US I couldn't find a good pad thai in my area and it always disappoints me.
