I try spicy Som Tam in Thailand

I’m staying with my friend Greg and his girlfriend Aeh here in Thailand and she made me homemade Som Tam which is an extremely popular dish. It’s a salad made from green unripened papaya with Thai chllies, garlic, tomato, fish sauce, palm sugar and lime and msg. Because I am a farang (foreigner) she only put two peppers in instead of the 5 she normally does. Be careful with Thai peppers. They are little but pack a punch. I’ve never looked for unripe papaya before so it may be difficult to source outside of an Asian store. I said in the video that it tastes like cabbage and that’s not really right. It’s dense like cabbage when you bite it but it has a very neutral flavor. So I think I was feeling the texture of cabbage more than the flavor. But no sweetness like a ripe papaya and no sour like some unripe fruits. As I look through recipes online I see various other ingredients like dried shrimp and peanuts could also be added. But this is Aeh’s recipe and as far as I am concerned it was perfect. Interestingly my friend Greg does not like this dish, which tells me he’s crazy, because it’s delicious. It was really good. Very spicy, but really good. #chiangmai #thailand #somtam
