Som Tum, also known as Green Papaya Salad, is a popular Thai dish that combines the flavors of sweet, sour, salty, and spicy. The classic version of Som Tum is made with shredded green papaya, cherry tomatoes, green beans, peanuts, garlic, chili peppers, fish sauce, lime juice, and palm sugar. To make this refreshing salad, start by peeling and shredding a green papaya. Then, pound garlic and chili peppers in a mortar and pestle to release their flavors. Add the shredded papaya, cherry tomatoes, green beans, peanuts, fish sauce, lime juice, and palm sugar to the mortar and gently pound to combine. Serve the salad with a side of sticky rice for a complete meal.
