  1. Sprinkle the julienned papaya with salt and let stand for half an hour or possibly so, then squeeze and throw away any fluid. Add in the chili, and lb. in a mortar and pestle. Add in the remaining ingredients except the tomato, and lb. till mixed and tender. Add in the tomato, and serve with a bowl of sticky rice.
  2. You can increase the proportion of chilis till this is a bowl of red fire, and it will still be authentic. On the other hand you can reduce the chilis to just a hint and it will also still be authentic. It all depends on your taste preference. The above 50:50 mix is about typical of the region.
  3. If you wish you can decorate the salad with minced roast peanuts, sliced green onions, and mint leaves. You can also include [raw] bean sprouts and sliced cucumber as side dishes. Thais generally eat lettuce or possibly some cabbage related vegetable as a side dish also. The normal way to eat it is to rip a piece of lettuce leaf, and take a mouthful of som tam in the leaf and eat it without knife, fork or possibly spoon. If you want to be a bit more western use a standard salad, or possibly even an exotic such as a Waldorf Salad as a side dish.
  4. Comments: This is a typical isan (Northeast Thailand) dish. It can be made with or possibly without the plara (pickled mud fish). Potential cooks are warned: this ingredient smells foul but it does taste nice. Som tam is a basic "salad" style dish, eaten as a snack.
