The Simplest Som Tum That Tastes Best

Master Som Tum Like a Bangkok Street Vendor This is the quintessential version of Som tum, the simplest and best. Could som tum be the best Thai dish ever? I think it could be. Simple, fresh, healthy and packed full of flavour. Here's the recipe: Half green papaya, use more if you like (the harder the better) 3 Cloves of garlic 5 Thai birds eye chilli ( you can use more or less) 1 tbsp of dried shrimp 1 heaped tbsp of palm sugar 2 tbsp fish sauce (replace with light soy sauce if Vegan) 1 tbsp Tamarind sauce As much long bean/ snake bean as you like, replace with french beans if you can't find snake beans Cherry tomatoes ( go for it, as much as you like) 1 lime As with all Asian cooking this is a rough guide with regards to amounts, adjust for your own taste and spice tolerance. If you want to make it spicier then toast birds eye chillies instead of large sweet chilli. Good luck and let us know how you get on. Enjoy!!!!!!!
