The Pad Thai recipe!

Hello everyone...since i raved about the pad thai recipe in my last blog, i thought i would post the link to the recipe for all of you!

http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Sukhothai-Pad-Thai/Detail.aspx

Now, some of you might wonder, what is a Tamarind? They look like this:


They have a tart/sweet taste to them, similar to a date, i'm told. These are the confusing part of the recipe. There should be directions on the package as to how you make a Tamarind paste, but in case you don't know...i'll tell you.
First, peel the hard shell off from the fruit. (yes, it's a fruit)Then put the fruit in a bowl with 1/2 cup of boiling water. Cover the bowl with vented saran wrap. put the bowl in the microwave for 2 minutes and cook on high. take the bowl out and leaving it covered, let it sit to cool. Once it is cool, you can remove the pits and add the 2 tablespoons of Tamarind pulp/paste that is required, to your sauce. so good!

so so so good. I really recommend making this. it's honestly one of the best Pad Thais i have ever tasted in my life. mmmmmmjavascript:void(0)mm.
so there you go. Thanks Josh for the link! and thanks to Caroline for giving Josh the link! woo hoo!

Hahah, I just read your recipe on the email and I thought, what is a tamarind, this recipe is too hard for me. But now, after you've explained it all, I may just try it one day!

I thought you had cleaned up after Major when you took care of him.

hehe, they do look like poo, but they are kinda cool fruits. apparently you can use them in drink mixes too. the fruit tastes tart yet sweet. it would be good in a mixed cocktail of sorts. mmmmmm.
