Som tam or Som tum is a spicy salad made from shredded unripened papaya. Som tam, the dish combines the four main tastes of Thai cuisine: sour lime, hot chili, salty fish sauce, and sweetness added by palm sugar.

Som Tam Pla Muk (Spicy Squid and Papaya Salad)

The squid, or pla muk, adds a nice meaty texture to this classic Thai papaya salad.

2 1/2 tbsp lime juice

1/2 cup grated carrot

1/2 cup grated green papaya

6 herry tomatoes, halved

2 tbsp fried cashew nuts, coarsely ground

Som tam Tips

Buying a Green Papaya: You can try looking for a very green papaya at your grocery store (either 2 Hawaiian or 1 Caribbean type). But personally, I recommend buying one at an Asian store (as pictured), simply because it is difficult to tell whether a papaya is green or actually in one of the stages of ripening.

Asian stores and markets sell green papayas labelled as such. Sometimes they are even sliced open so you can see it is green inside (the seeds will be white).

Slice the papaya in half lengthwise and crack it open. Scrape out the seeds and discard. Then turn over each half and peel off the green skin.

You can either use a large-size grater to grate the papaya, or shred it as they do in Thailand (pictured here). Simply make many long cuts into the flesh, then thinly slice off the top layer into a bowl. Continue until all the papaya is shredded.

Any remaining pieces can be chopped up into strips with your knife.

Note that Thai cooks usually preform an optional step here, bashing the shredded papaya with a pestle to bring out the juice. Another way is to place half the shredded papaya in a food processor and pulse briefly. Mix this with the remaining papaya.
