STEP 1/18
Please prepare the ingredients.
STEP 2/18
Green papaya is an undercooked papaya. It has a subtle sweetness and a crunchy texture. Peel the skin with a filler. I'm only going to use half today, so I took off half.
STEP 3/18
I used a Som Tam knife to cut it. If you don't have it, slice it thinly with a knife.
STEP 4/18
I used 150g of green papaya.
STEP 5/18
Likewise, I cut the carrots using a Som Tam knife.
STEP 6/18
I used about 50g of carrots.
STEP 7/18
I sliced the tomatoes.
STEP 8/18
Slice the lime so it's easy to squeeze. I'm going to make it with the skin, so I washed the skin clean.
STEP 9/18
It's Som Tam mortar. There's no mortar like this in a normal household, is there? Use garlic mortar or deep bowl.
STEP 10/18
Add garlic and pepper first and grind.
STEP 11/18
And 35g of palm sugar. If you don't have palm sugar, add sugar. If you do, reduce the capacity by half.
STEP 12/18
Please add 20g of dried shrimp.
STEP 13/18
Squeeze out a piece of lime and put it in. If you don't have lime, you can use lemon. If you use juice, add 3-4T.
STEP 14/18
Add 2T of fish sauce.
STEP 15/18
Add 1T of tamarine paste and stir well to dissolve palm sugar. If you don't have tamarine paste, please pass it boldly.
STEP 16/18
When the palm sugar is ready, add all the ingredients and mix to grind.
STEP 17/18
It's ground well. Add peanuts at the end and mix lightly to complete.
STEP 18/18
It's Somtam Thai with a crunchy taste. Spicy-sweet-sweet-sweet-and-sweet-three-beat is a very good food. In addition to the rich taste of fish sauce and dried shrimp, how delicious it was! I like the savory taste of peanuts that you can chew from time to time. Wouldn't it be a genius who made Somtam, which is a perfect combination of texture, taste, and scent? Then make it delicious today, too.
There is an alternative ingredient, but it tastes best to use the original ingredient as it is. If you want to make it close to the local taste of Thailand, try making it with all the ingredients.
