Thai Papaya Salad (som tam tai)
"Som tam tai" is very popular with many foreign tourists. There are quite a few different versions such as the fruit salad version. This one is som tam tai and uses shredded green papaya. Everything is pounded togehter with a mortar and pestle. The ingredients green beans, cherry tomatoes, include garlic, red chili, palm sugar, fish sauce, lemon juice and tamarind paste. They probably also add a touch of MSG if you are not looking. This version also has dried shrimp and dry roasted peanuts which are added after the pounding. The vendor will probably inquire if you want it spicy. An easy way to explain is to say how many chillies you want. So, for two, you would say "prik song met". This is only 20-30 baht and very delicious. You can try to eat.
