Thai Green Papaya Salad - Somtam ส้มตำ

How to make the mouthwatering Thai Papaya Salad (Somtam - ส้มตำ) with minimum ingredients?
When green papaya is hard to get here in Malaysia I grow my own papaya tree. I waited almost a year to pluck my first papaya to make this Somtam. The dish turned out so well as the papaya was freshly plucked from my own garden! It's best to use papayas that are almost ripe because you can easily get its natural sweetness while the texture is still crunchy. The ultimate X factor of this dish is its signature spicy, sour, sweet and salty taste all blended into one and that satisfying crunch with every bite! Once start eating, it's really hard to stop. Try having it with sticky rice, fried chicken and raw vegetable and you will be amazed by how these food compliments each other so well. Enjoy!
