In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients for the Pad Thai sauce: tamarind paste, fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar, and chili powder. Set aside.

Heat the vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sliced onion, and sauté until fragrant and slightly golden.
