We're all about taking shortcuts when it comes to weeknight cooking, but there's no way around using tamarind in pad Thai. The dish is simply a shadow of its former self without it, so look for tamarind paste or concentrate at Asian markets. Once you've got the base down, though, Pad Thai is a great way to use up leftover protein like cooked shrimp or shredded rotisserie chicken (hint: just toss them in with the noodles).
