I made this for dinner tonight. DH is on afternoons, so he wasn't around to ask me what the hell I was eating.Anyway, I used chicken instead of tofu. Also, I looked for tamarind paste (not very hard), but couldn't find it. Honestly, there was a whole slew of Thai packets and jars. They all said "Pad Thai" on them. I found a red chili paste that had both tamarind paste and fish sauce in it, so I used that. It was really thick, so I diluted it with a bit of water. It also had a bit of heat to it, so I omitted the extra chilis. Next time, I'll make a greater effort to find the tamarind paste.
Anyway, this was really, really good. I will certainly make it again.
As an aside, I'd never had cilantro before. It's quite a strong flavour, isn't it? I haven't decided whether I like it or not. It worked in this dish, though.
My camera is acting up so I can't post a pic.
