Maesri Pad-Thai Sauce 255g

Maesri Pad Thai sauce for a tangy noodle supper

There is something wonderfully satisfying about getting the balance of a Pad Thai just right. Maesri Pad Thai Sauce brings together tamarind juice, sugar, shallot, garlic and chilli powder in a ready to use sauce for this much loved Thai noodle dish. Tamarind gives the sauce its tangy character, while the sugar brings sweetness and the chilli adds a little warmth. It is a handy starting point when you want the familiar sweet and savoury combination of Pad Thai without mixing the sauce from scratch.

This jar is listed as 255g. The supplied product information describes the sauce as made in Thailand and says it contains no artificial colour or flavour, no preservatives and no MSG. Those are details worth checking against the jar when it arrives, since manufacturers can change recipes and packaging. The sauce is intended for stirring through noodles rather than serving on its own, so you can build a meal around the vegetables and protein you enjoy. If Thai cooking is a regular part of your kitchen, browse our Thai food selection for more ideas to put alongside it.

A Pad Thai sauce is particularly useful on evenings when you want a proper cooked meal but do not want to measure out several separate sauces. The flavour comes from ingredients already named in the supplied listing, including tamarind juice and tomato paste, rather than an imagined secret blend. Whether you are making the dish for the first time or returning to an old favourite, the jar lets you focus on getting the noodles and other ingredients cooked to your liking. Take a look at our sauces if you enjoy keeping different cooking flavours ready for weeknight meals.

How to cook with Pad Thai sauce and rice noodles

Start by preparing rice noodles according to their packet instructions, then drain them so they are ready for the wok or frying pan. Stir fry your chosen ingredients, add the softened noodles and spoon in the Pad Thai sauce, tossing everything together until it is heated through and evenly coated. The existing product guidance suggests bean sprouts, prawns and egg, finished with chopped peanuts and a squeeze of lime. These are serving suggestions, not a fixed recipe, so adjust the combination to suit the people you are cooking for. Make sure any seafood or eggs you use are thoroughly cooked before serving.

For a meat free version, you could choose vegetables and tofu instead of prawns, while checking the product label carefully if you need to avoid fish or soya. The supplied listing specifically flags both fish and soya as allergens, even though the ingredient list shown there does not clearly identify a fish ingredient. Do not rely on this page alone for allergy decisions. Read the full label on the jar before preparing a meal for anyone with an allergy or dietary restriction. You can find a base for your next stir fry in our noodles collection.

Pad Thai is often served as a complete dish, but you can set out lime, chopped peanuts and extra vegetables separately so everyone can finish their own plate. If you are experimenting with the balance of flavours, taste the cooked dish before adding anything else. The sauce already contains sugar and salt, and the listed chilli powder contributes warmth. Store the unopened jar in a cool, dry place as stated in the existing product information, and follow the packaging for any instructions after opening.
