Som Tam Thai is a highly popular and refreshing Thai green papaya salad. It perfectly balances sour, salty, sweet, and spicy flavors, combined with a crunch from fresh papaya, peanuts, and long green beans.
Step 1
Prepare the green papaya by peeling it, then chopping and shredding it longitudinally into thin strips. Set aside.
Step 2
Add garlic and chilies into a clay mortar. Pound them roughly.
Step 3
Break the long green beans into 1.5-inch pieces, add them to the mortar, and crush lightly.
Step 4
Slice the tomatoes and add them into the mortar.
Step 5
Season by adding palm sugar, fish sauce, and squeezed lime juice. You can also toss in the lime peel for added aroma. Mix and crush gently until the palm sugar is completely dissolved.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Use palm sugar instead of white sugar to achieve an authentic, mellow sweetness.
Avoid over-pounding the papaya strips so they maintain their crunchy texture.
Freshly roasted peanuts are recommended for the best aroma and flavor.
