Som Tam – Vitamin-rich salad with a refreshing acidity

Somtham

Because Thailand is a hot country, it is a limited place to visit a salad of raw vegetables to eat in Japan, such as a hotel restaurant, but Thailand also has a nutritious salad salad.

Among them, "Somutumu" is very popular among people in Bangkok.

Salad made by tapping blue papaya

Som Tom is a salad made by tapping popular blue papaya in Thailand.

It has a refreshing sour taste, tasty, calorie-rich, vitamin-rich, with lipolytic enzyme, and good for the body is a popular secret.

It is a strong friend who is on a diet among Thai OLs.

In Japan, I think that it is not quite blue papaya, so I go to Thailand and want to eat it every day.

Although it is originally a spicy dish originating in Laos and Northeast Thailand (Isan), Bangkok adds sweetness, and there are also relatively spicy seasoned products such as "Som Tum Thai" arranged mildly.

Mostly, when you place an order, the clerk will ask you how much spicy you want (quantity of red pepper).
If you are not good at pain, "Pet Noi" Ordinarily it is "Tamada" If you are a painful wish, say "Pet".

Thai food is made with ingredients and recipe as it is

SomthamMost of Thai cuisine was made with ingredients as it is and the way of making it as it is, Som 's "Som" means "sour" in Thai language, and "Tam" means "hit".

It is a generic name of blue papaya salad with dishes made literally by "somthum", "tapping sour taste".

With the addition tool,

Somtum with Somtum · Poo - crab
Somtum · Thai · GuyChem = Somtum with salt egg
Somtum · Kao Port = Somtum with corn
Som Tom Ponramai = apple and somtum of fruit with grapes

There are various variations.

The preparation at the stalls has a feeling, but you need to be careful to eat

Because it is also sold at stalls, I think that you will see a sight that is tapping in a big tree mortar at the time of preparation.

If you make a rhythmic sound and you can see tomatoes and cowpea at the shops, you definitely think that you are a somtum shop!

However, since Somtham is a dish that does not pass through fire, be careful when you eat at a store that is made in hot and humid outdoor.
