PAD THAI
ground peanuts - dried chili flakes

A good pad thai sauce consists of (by order of weight) fish sauce, tamarind water, palm sugar, ketchup, garlic, galangal, kaffir lime leaves, thai chilies, and white pepper. We managed to come up with a pretty good vegetarian recipe that basically subbed fish sauce with tamari. The sauce was also infused with kombu and dried chanterelle mushrooms to bring out some umami.
