The pad thai sauce is very, very good and can be used for so many things, so no that you have gone and bought tamarind paste, make some extra, but don’t put it in the dish. Just take a small pot. Bring it to a boil and then cool down and store in the fridge in an airtight container for at least a week. Try it on salads, in any stir fry and as a marinade for you tofu or Like Chicken Bites.
