Anybody have a recipe for pad thai sauce?

I spent a lot of money recently on a Thai cookbook on Amazon because it had high ratings. Imagine my surprise when I opened it to 'pad thai' and found the author uses tomato ketchup in the sauce. Not only that, but all the ingredients are added separately.

I'm looking for a pad thai sauce I can make up ahead of time, keep in a jar in my fridge and add all at once to my pad thai. And one that doens't use ketchup!

Have a look at the recipe for pad thai in RecipeGullet:here -- the first few ingredients are for the pad thai sauce. I make large batches of something similar to keep in the fridge. I use a mix of white and palm sugar, but otherwise it's pretty close.

There's also much discussion of sauce and sauciness here in the pad thai eG Cook-Off.

Thank you so much for that! And it uses tamarind, which I have a pouch of!

Here's a good recipe -- of sorts -- for Pad Thai, with a lot of advice about how to make it turn out well:

I've tried a few and agree with jmsaul that this is a very good one as are the words of advice.
