Green Papaya Salad (Som Tam) Recipe by Chef Saiphin Moore

Som tam is considered the most well-known Thai salad. In Chef Saiphin Moore word: "I feel as though I have been consuming it ever since birth. You could say that I was raised on the flavor of grated green, or unripe, papaya. Making this recipe, which comes from my family, comes naturally to me. It was similar to an English Sunday roast, but we had it every day instead. My family even matched the number of chiles they used to the age I was (five chillies when I was five years old and so on). I learned to appreciate the lovely, stinging heat of chiles because of this"

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. The peanuts should be lightly toasted over medium heat until golden brown color in a small, dry frying pan. Take out of the pan and place aside. (You may also get a ready-toasted substitute in the stores)

  2. Utilizing a pestle and mortar, coarsely pound the garlic and chilies. Beans, tomatoes, and palm sugar should be added. Squeeze the lime juice and fish sauce in after lightly pounding the ingredients together

  3. Repeat the light pounding, then add the carrot and green papaya. Repound, then toss to combine. Taste to make sure the sweetness and saltiness is perfectly balanced with a strong, acidic, and spicy tang.

  4. Place the toasted peanuts and dried shrimp on top of the salad before serving
