Por KwanPad Thai, Sour and Spicy Sauce for Rice Stick, 33 Ounce

Perfect for making phad Thai. I did add a little sugar and fresh lime juice because it is a strong flavor. Also, that toned down the hint of fish taste from the shrimp paste. I hate fish, but I liked this sauce because the fish taste was very subtle and mostly disappears when you mix in noodles. Nice and spicy too, but not too spicy for the “mild” eaters to enjoy.

unique exotic taste, like a mix of mandarin orange and tamarino.l used it for sticky rice and stir fry very often. Taste awsome.

In and of itself, I like the flavor. It doesn't quite have that Pad Thai taste by itself though. I find it useful as a base but I definitely find the need to add fish sauce, usually a splash of rice vinegar, and sometimes lime and/ or sriracha to boost the flavor (basically Pad Thai flavorings). This sauce is a little tangy and a little spicy (warm, but not hot heat level). It has a slightly runnier ketchup consistency.While I have felt the need to add flavors to it to taste more like restaurant pad thai, I do like it just out of the bottle on rice noodles too.Outside of Pad thai use, I had used it for flavoring in a spicy peanut noodle bowl. I just had some of this and that in my fridge to use up, which can be easily replicated. I had some already cooked up rice noodles, as well as scallion/green onion, chicken and some extra firm tofu. I crisped up the tofu in coconut oil (added salt, cracked black pepper, and turmeric). Then placed them on a plate. Then I tossed the already cooked left over rice noodles in the still slightly oily and seasoned pan. Scraped those around to pick up flavor. Cut in some scallion/green onion. Added in some already cooked chicken. I added a splash of fish sauce, seasoned rice vinegar, a squirt of sriracha, then a big squirt or two of this Pad Thai sauce. Then I opened up a can of coconut milk, added about 1/2 a can to the pan. Sprinkled in a generous amount of peanut powder. Mixed it all together, then plated. I added the tofu pieces on top (reminded me of egg in a Pad Thai dish).SO I think I will keep looking for a prepared Pad Thai sauce that has the flavor profile I am looking for. It might not happen; I may just need to keep making my own. That being said, this isn't a bad sauce, it just isn't quite what I am looking for, and it can be used in other dishes.

When she cook Thai food she use every time.

I've spent a lot of time trying to reproduce pad thai at home. What a bunch of work fussing around w/ tamarind paste and it's never quite right. I usually don't use quick sauces but this one does the trick. In fact, I suspect it's what a lot of the smaller Thai places probably use.Separately fry up some tofu, some chicken, some shrimp, some eggs. Chop up some peanuts. Cook the noodles and sauce. Add the proteins. Top w/ peanuts, bean sprouts, cilantro, and a few slices of lime. Delicious! (although I do like to add some heat)

I have been trying to find a pad Thai sauce that's premade so it's quicker to cook dinner. This sauce seemed promising, but it was so fishy! I love fish, I also eat sushi and seaweed, but this wasn't like a fresh fish flavor, it just was overwhelming. It also lacked sweetness and umami. Overall it was bland and fishy. I'm glad I only spend $10 because I'll be either returning it or tossing it out. I would highly recommend not buying this and either find another brand or making your own.

I learned when I got the bottle since this vital detail is not on the product page, is once you open the bottle, it will only be good for 30 days while refrigerated. Sadly I opened it after I already made pad thai with another jar. But its a big bottle, which is nice... if I could keep it in my fridge for like 90 days at least, maybe 120 days. This bottle I would say help sauce up a pad thai for 40 servings, at least for my serving size (a full plate). It is thick and tasty, which is good. So I have to force myself to make pad thai again soon to use it on a full pad thai meal or hopefully the 30 day limit on the label is just suggestive and not literal.

My wife says that I am cheap because I don’t like to order take out. It’s not that I am cheap, it’s more about trying to teach my sons that money doesn’t grow on trees. They are really lazy boys, not willing to get their own jobs, and have become really spoiled. They want take out all of the time but don’t have the means to pay for it. I bought this to trick them into thinking that we ordered Thai food and they believed it. Probably because they are not very intelligent.
