Absolutely, you can substitute the tamarind with the golf ball size of tamarind pulp and some water. As to how much you need, I would start with 1 tablespoon and add more to taste. :)

Thanks for including the scratch Pad Thai paste recipe. I’m averse to buying the ready-made paste only because I want to avoid specialized ingredients taking up space in my fridge. I’d rather buy the tamarind puree which appears to be used in plenty of other recipes.

So… is there any chance you can substitute tamarind puree for the golf ball of tamarind pulp in your Pad Thai paste recipe? How much would you use?

P.S. Congrats on your baby!

Hi, i have the same question as Island..I got a little confused with the pad thai sauce and paste.The recipe calls for pad thai paste,that’s than mixed with other stuff like :
tamarind paste/concentrate,fish sauce,sugar,water and chili powder which makes the pad thai sauce.
At the bottom of the recipe,is that for the paste which needs to be mixed with other stuff to form the sauce?
Thanxx

Make the Pad Thai sauce first before you cook, then add the required amount while cooking the Pad Thai.

hi, when you make the pad thai sauce from scratch, all you need to do is to add it into the cooking right? or do i have to mix in a bowl with
2 teaspoons tamarind paste/concentrate
3 tablespoons fish sauce
3 teaspoons sugar
2/3 cup water
2-4 teaspoons Sriracha or 1-2 teaspoons chili powder
to make a sauce before i cook?

You can use the concentrate.

I can only find ‘Tamarind concentrate’ OR ‘Tamarind puree’ in my local Chinese supermarket. Maybe i should find a new supermarket?! but for now, which do you think would be better for this dish? Would concentrate be better as the recipe calls for ‘juice’?
Thanks again!
