Tamarind is a pulp commonly used in Asian, South American and Middle Eastern cooking. A little hot water is all that's needed to soften the tamarind so that you can turn it into sauce. Reserve the remaining sauce for another use.

Ingredients

Method

In bowl, combine tamarind pulp and hot water; let stand until tamarind is softened, about 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, cook noodles according to package instructions; drain. Set aside.

Meanwhile, in small bowl, whisk together fish sauce, lime juice, honey, chili sauce and 1/4 cup water. Set aside.

Drain tamarind mixture, reserving 1/4 cup of the liquid. In food processor, purée tamarind pulp with reserved liquid until smooth. Set aside. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate in airtight container for up to 2 weeks.)

Sprinkle beef with salt. In large nonstick skillet or wok, heat oil over high heat; stir-fry beef until browned all over, about 3 minutes. Using slotted spoon, remove beef to bowl. Set aside.

In same skillet, stir-fry onion over high heat until golden, about 2 minutes. Add garlic; stir-fry until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add noodles, snow peas, fish sauce mixture and 1/4 cup of the tamarind sauce; stir-fry until noodles are warmed through, about 3 minutes. Add beef and bean sprouts; stir-fry until sprouts are tender-crisp, about 1 minute.
