The EASIEST & BEST Pad Thai SAUCE You'll EVER Need
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- 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!!!!!!!

looks authentic unlike the dozen of pad thai recipes i see online lol, she made it look easy
thank you for your kind words
but no fish sauce?
I can't believe after working in a thai restaurant for many years I had to go to UA-cam 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.
I'm Filipino, but I love to cook Pad Thai, especially when it is prepared by a renowned Thai chef. You will know that it's authentic, and you will learn a lot of techniques. Thank you for this wonderful recipe.
Every cook has their own version in making pad thai sauce, according to thier own palate taste buds,Thanks for sharing how to make this sauce.
Thanks - this actually is the best and easiest Pad Thai sauce ever !!!! - you can also use "dried thai red onions " - Thanks again :)
I love any type of onion
Very good recipes by a lovely lady
Big up the TIN FU supplies 😂 Another scrumptious recipe from this beautiful lady. Thank you so much for your time and patience. I can't wait to try this and I'll be able to scale it down also. Fab! ❤️🙏🏴
Hahaha, yes, big up the TIN FU suppliers. Unfortunately, he doesn't have a website.
Frying the shallots to add at the end is brilliant. I used the infused oil to make the noodle. Excellent technique and flavour.
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. Good to see that the commercialism of cooking has not removed your life's love for cooking and trade. You are so preciousness.
Thank you for your kind words, they are greatly appreciated
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.
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.
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!
I’ve seen different types of pad Thai sauces with garlic in. But I like this one better.
Thank you for your kind words and thanks for watching
So Easy and Simple and looks delicious👍
Thank you mam you it easy and simple
Thats how cooking should be, nice and simple and easy
Wow what a awesome yummy😋 pad thai sauce & noodles . Thank U so much Dear for Ur great video 🙏 ❤❤❤😊
Thanks a lot 😊
Thank you.
I will try , I like pad Thai 😋
Us too!
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?
You know it's tasty when you can't wait for it to cool down!
when you know you know
Well done Madame.
Why thank you dear sir
Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe and technique! Cheers
You're very welcome, thank you for watching
Thanks so much for uploading. Love this.
You're very welcome Alex, let us know if there's a certain recipe that you're after.
Going to have to 1/4 the sauce. Thank you lovely lady. How long it lasts in the fridge?
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.
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.
@@ropeburn6684 Great advice, thanks for the input, and thanks for watching.
@@FitousThaiKitchen My pleasure! Love the video.
You're amazing!!
That sauce looks so yummy, I've got to make this sauce very soon 😋💕
Hope you enjoy
Awesome 🎉🎉🎉
I watched a lovely Thai lady that made her pad Thai from scratch as well. I remember the big Prawns she had in hers. And it was delicious just like this one ooh and it had preserved turnip and everything esle from this recipe in it . 😋 thanks for sharing 🙏🙏
Oh wow! So nice when you put everything in it
@FitousThaiKitchen especially with holy basil makes everything perfect 🥰
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.
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.
@@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.
Yummy yummuy
Thank you 😋

Is your restaurant in sandiego
No sorry we're in London
I wonder if you have a recipe for Laadna
Here you go Josephine, this is one of my favourite noodle dishes.

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?
It taste better when you add a bit of white sugar in addition to palm sugar.
Does anybody know how to make the sticky sweet pad thai that gets crunchy when you cook it long?
I follow. You. Coz. This. Vidio
Thanks Daniel, glad you enjoyed it
สำหรับผัดไทยผมว่าขาดกุ้งแห้งครับ การใส่ต้นหอมแทนผักกุ้ยฉ่ายก็ให้กลิ่นและรสชาดต่างกันมากทีเดียว แต่ก็เข้าใจครับว่าอยู่ต่างประเทศคงหายากหน่อย ส่วนซอสผัดไทยนั้นถ้านำไปเคี่ยวต่อให้ข้นๆนำไปราดบนเมนูไข่ลูกเขยได้เลยน่ะเนี่ย
ใช่ค่ะ เราไม่ได้ใส่กุ้งแห้ง ที่นี่ค่อนข้างแพง ฝรั่งไม่ค่อยกินด้วยค๊ะ ขอบคุณสำหรับคำแนะนำนะคะ
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.
Good pad thai sauce always starts with chili 🌶
This woman is so adorable
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
This is awesome, but I can not make this at home.. I am sorry
Location?
West London
How much squeezed tamarind juice yielded after soaking?
2.5 litres
คนไทยก็ดูอยู่เช่นกัน
For those who do not want to make it such a large quantity can u please give measurements for smaller quality.
Hi thanks for watching, as stated in the description you can just halve the amounts to make a smaller portion.
How much water do you use to soak the tamarind?
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.
So Why no fish souce?
It's not necessary, plus we have vegetarian and vegan customers. With everything going on in a padthai you wouldn't notice.
In Thailand, every Pad Thai you eat has Fish Sauce in it.
Yu no like aminal juice then yu no eat pad thai!!! Pad thai for normal ppl, pad thai not for ppl who odd.
Didn't say they didn't, but here in the UK we need to cater to meat eaters and vegans alike. I'm sure if we cooked one with fish sauce and one without, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
@@FitousThaiKitchen no no no no!!! Dey eat salad den, no pad thai. Yu no use fish sawce den you no make pad thai!!! You no shef!
great if you want your pad thai sauce enriched by doing the whole thing in oil. Remember, this is a restaurant version, not a home version like the woman says. You don't eat restaurant food at home if you want to live beyond 70. You eat restaurant food when you go to the restaurant.
no fish sauce or substitute ketchup ?
We used salt instead of fish sauce, so that we can use the sauce for vegetarians. Keep KETCHUP away from pad thai, it has absolutely no business being in there.
@@FitousThaiKitchen Thank you. i cant find palm sugar at where i am what can i use? and do we use any msg?
can we add sesame oil at the end to give the wok flavor because we dont have strong fire at home.
Amazon sell palm sugar in pucks. @kirkortommvayvalako2814
@@kirkortommvayvalako2814 No sesame oil in thai cuisine.
Why salt and not fish sauce?
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.
❤❤❤😊
Thanks Pat
Not use fish suace?
No need
any saltiness ingredients?
fish sauce or soy sauce
I would go fish sauce or just salt
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
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.
Me too, we even get customers that put sweet chilli sauce all over it 🤮
@@FitousThaiKitchenIf we bought tamarind paste from the store, how much paste do we use? Do we need to add water to the paste?
Oh you're gonna be even more disgusted if I told you they make pad thai sauce with ketchup over here on the US
yes I would, I live in SE Asia and can just go to a shop and get the real deal@@crescentb3am
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
I normally use fish sauce but never salt. I don't think taste is the same without fish sauce.
This sauce is more about the shallots
I only used salt and its really good.
No fish sauce?
No we used salt instead, with this sauce the flavour is very strong so the fish sauce flavour wouldn't come through anyway.
No lime, no fish sauce?
@maynardjohnson3313 no lime in pad thai sauce, we did mention that we don't add fish sauce to our pad thai sauce as we have vegan and vegetarian customers. You can add it if you want, although for this recipe you wouldn't notice.
You did not use fish sauce nor dried shrimp
Not necessary
@@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.
Wait.. where’s the fish sauce?
❤555+ that hungry??
Yeah I'm starving
Wonderful if feeding an army brigade! Why doesn't she scale down for a family amount ?
Everything is with too much sugar.
It's pad Thai, it needs to be sour and sweet, you're only using a couple of Tbsp of the sauce when cooking
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!
Everyone keeps commenting “no fish sauce?” Just read the comments before questioning!
Thank you lol
You skipped the fish sauce and soy sauce. Very interesting.
Pad Thai should never ever have soy sauce in it!
I do not like seeing the pot handle placed hanging out the countertop. With or without children around it is TOO dangerous!!! Why’s not on the left or right sides??
I can't put the handle to the left or right, we're in a commercial kitchen there are large burners to the left and right.
Does not look good
Oh in what way?
This is not authentic Pad Thai, also thai people dont eat with chopsticks 🤦🏻♂️
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.
@@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. So your comment is null and void.
Thai people do use chop sticks . Anyone can actually.
Dumbest comment seriously.
@@InfectAionwhat's your problem? If you don't want to use chop sticks, then don't. No need to make a song & dance about it!
I know we wash hands but at least use gloves❤
Nahhh get your hands in there, feel connected with the food.
sweet radish!!!???
