Instructions

COOKING TAMARIND CONCENTRATE

  1. In a pot or non-stick pan over medium heat, combine water and tamarind pulp. Stir while simmering until the pulp dissolves, thickens, and the water reduces.

EXTRACTING THE LIQUID

  1. Strain the cooked tamarind concentrate through a sieve into a bowl, pressing to extract maximum liquid. Add a splash of water and reheat briefly if more liquid is needed.

PREPARING THE SAUCE

  1. Heat a pot over medium. Mix tamarind liquid, light and dark soy sauce, palm sugar, and water. Cook until the sauce thickens, turns dark brown, and gets a glossy glaze. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use the nutrition card in this recipe as a guideline.
  • Tamarind sauce makes a great dip for a wide array of food. 
  • The tamarind extract can be used in my recipes that call for tamarind. You have to adjust the quantity, since tamarind extract is highly concentrated.
