~You don’t need much of this!~ If you don’t want to make it, buy tamarind paste, you only need a teaspoon of paste.
To make the Tamarind sauce, first pound the tamarind. Next, over a stove, put some room temperature water into the stove and place the tamarind inside. Add 3 tablespoons of Sugar and 1 1/2 tablespoons of Fish Sauce. Add a dash of salt and a teaspoon of soy sauce. Wait for it to heat up. Taste it! It should have a sharp, sweet, sour and a little bit salty taste. If you don’t like it, add more sugar or something until you are satisfied.
