A basic Pad Thai sauce usually consists of palm sugar, fish sauce, and tamarind paste or concentrate. 

However, you can alter the sweet, salty, and sour taste of a basic Pad Thai sauce to suit your own taste buds or preference. 

And here are a couple more flavor ideas.

• Add 1 Tbsp. Shrimp Tomalley or Mun Goong to a Basic Pad Thai Sauce.
• Replace some of the Tamarind Paste with Thai Hot Sauce for a Spicier Pad Thai recipe.
• Also replace Rice Noodles with 80 Grams of Glass Noodles (Woon Sen).  Glass noodles are low glycemic noodles.
  

Soak glass noodles in water for 15 minutes until soft and drain. 

You may also need to cut the noodles and add an additional 1/4 cup of water along with the sauce when you use glass noodles in your easy Pad Thai recipes.
