A couple weeks ago I wrote about my unsuccessful attempt to replicate Alejandro's recipe for "pad Thai". The jar of sweet and sour sauce that I used was simply not a good substitute for the tamarind syrup which he uses as the base for his sauce.
On my last trip to the supermarket I noticed that they had Thai peanut sauce as well as rice noodles. So I decided to give it another try.
The result was still not exactly like Alejandro's "pad Thai" nor like the "pad Thai" that I have had in restaurants. However, this was much tastier than my previous attempt. It was also much spicier. If I make it again... and I probably will... I will not bother adding a couple of chopped jalapeños to the stir fried vegetables.
