I love this type of Thai dish it is so easy to make and you can have it as a seafood or meat dish or a meat free dish. The choice is all yours.

- Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer until sugar is dissolved, 2-3 minutes. Don’t let it reduce any further once sugar has dissolved or it won’t be the right consistency for making pad thai.

If you like it more sweeter, add a bit more sugar.
If you prefer it salty, add a bit more soy sauce or fish sauce.
If you like a citrus taste, add some lime zest.
Make this sauce to suit your taste.
Store in a container in the fridge for 3 weeks.
