The chef of House of Wok notes that if you follow the recipe and the amount of ingredients in detail, you can make a nutritious and healthy Som Tam salad in just 20 minutes.
What you will need for the Som Tam salad:
take a small green papaya and grate it;
add two cups of grated carrots;
you also need a glass of cherry tomatoes cut in half;
at least a cup of chopped green beans;
half a cup of roasted peanuts;
two tablespoons of fresh cilantro leaves;
and one cup of cooked and peeled shrimp.
What is used to dress the Som Tam salad:
fresh lime juice (3 tablespoons);
fish or soy sauce (2 tablespoons);
palm or brown sugar (two tablespoons);
chopped garlic (two cloves).
How to prepare the Som Tam salad correctly
First, the chef recommends preparing a salad dressing. Let the dressing brew for a while so that it is saturated with flavors.
If you are using shrimp, prepare them in advance. To do this, boil or steam them, peel them, and let them cool.
Then mix the grated green papaya, chopped carrots, cherry tomatoes, long beans and cooked shrimp in a large bowl.
Pour the dressing evenly over the salad and toss gently to coat the ingredients evenly.
To taste, add chopped peanuts and mix gently to avoid crushing the various ingredients.
After that, you can transfer the salad to a serving dish, garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and serve.
