There are many Thai dishes made with mango. However, Somtam is made with grated papaya. I can share my recipe ingredients with you here:
The ingredients for som tam, a Thai papaya salad, typically include:
Green papaya: The main ingredient, but cucumber can be used as a substitute
Peanuts: Toasted and sprinkled on top
Palm sugar: Pounded into a paste to dissolve more easily
Lime juice: A key ingredient in the dressing
Fish sauce: A key ingredient in the dressing
Garlic and chilies: Coarsely pounded together with a pestle and mortar
Other ingredients that might be added include:
Snake beans, Pineapple, Tomato wedges, Iceberg lettuce, Dried shrimp, Tamarind juice, and Palm vinegar.
Pam, usually I like to make mine with an added salty egg mixed in ,but there are so many ways to make it. Give it a go , it's fun and easy... Enjoy
i think i have all the ingredients in my kitchen - except for palm vinegar, never heard of it. And somehow never got the hang of salted egg. But would definitely give it a try. Thanks for sharing!
