Something seems missing from ingredients list. Prep calls for tamarind, but it's not on the list?

It didn't taste much like other Pad Thai I've had... but it was still pretty good. I found both the ingredients list and recipe a little confusing. I had to read through several times and cross my fingers.

Prep time can be seriously reduced if the sauce is prepared ahead of time. I take a Qt size mason jar and make 7-8 times the sauce recipe at one time. Just seal it up and stash in the fridge, but be sure to give it a good shake to combine each time or things tend to settle. I like to cook the noodles in non boiling water, only because my tap water is quite hot and it avoids the wait time for bringing a pot of water to a boil. You can prepare according to the directions on the package if your water isn't as hot as mine. The pasta can be cooked in very hot tap water rather than boiling, I find that they take about 10 minutes to cook that way but that the timing works very well If you have a nut allergy sunflower seeds work nicely instead of the cashews.
