Pad Thai Sauce

Prepared Pad Thai sauce - From SheSimmers.com 

Author: Leela

Recipe type: Sauce, Condiment, Seasoning

Serves: 2 cups

Ingredients

• 180g fish sauce
• 226g palm sugar, finely chopped
• 60g brown sugar
• 150g tamarind pulp, prepared

Instructions

1. Put everything in a medium pot placed over medium heat. Stir constantly until the sugars have dissolved. This should take less than a minute. You don’t want to reduce or thicken the sauce; it’s already very concentrated and further reduction will result in a much lower yield than intended which leads to over-seasoned Pad Thai.
2. To keep the sauce from being overly reduced, chop your palm sugar very finely and do not use high heat.
3. Once the sugar is dissolved, remove the sauce from heat; allow to cool. Store in a glass jar and refrigerate or freeze.
