Description
O-Cha Tamarind Concentrated 14oz is a thick tamarind paste that gives Southeast Asian cooking its signature sour note without the work of soaking and straining tamarind pods. Scoop, dissolve and cook – it delivers a clean, fruity tartness that balances sweet, salty and spicy elements in a dish.

How to cook with it
Dissolve a spoonful in a little warm water before adding it to soups so the paste disperses evenly. It is a natural fit for Thai tom yum and pad thai, Vietnamese canh chua (sour soup) with fish and pineapple, and tamarind stir-fried prawns or crab (tom rang me). Use it to build sweet-and-sour dipping sauces by combining tamarind with fish sauce, sugar, garlic and chilli. It also works in marinades and glazes for grilled meat and seafood, where the acidity tenderises and brightens. Add gradually and taste as you go, since concentrate is strong and dishes vary in how much sourness they need.
Storage
Keep unopened in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. After opening, close the lid tightly and refrigerate, always using a clean and dry spoon. Follow the guidance printed on the label.
