Som Tam (Papaya Salad)

The pantry staples behind Som Tam (Thai papaya salad) — fish sauce, palm sugar, tamarind, and dried shrimp for that punchy sweet-salty-sour-spicy dressing. Just add fresh papaya, lime, and chilies.

How to make it:

  1. Pound garlic and chilies in a mortar and pestle until crushed.
  2. Add shredded green papaya, tomatoes, and long beans; lightly pound to soften.
  3. Season with fish sauce, palm sugar, lime juice, and a spoonful of dried shrimp.
  4. Toss well and taste, adjusting the sweet-salty-sour-spicy balance.
  5. Serve immediately with sticky rice.
