Hi, today I made Sum Tum with turnip cabbage instead of green papaya as like my followers know already its quite expansive here in Germany.
If you ask me thats a really tasty, easy and quickly made summer salad. You can serve as a starter, with your BBQ or as main dish with grilled chicken on top.
What you need:
- 5 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 3 tablespoons palm sugar or golden brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons fish sauce
- 2-3 tablespoons dried shrimp (chopped if you want)
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- ~1.5 pound turnip cabbage
- 10 large cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2-3 medium carrots
- 1 corncob, cooked
- 1-3 fresh red Thai chile with seeds, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped salted peanuts
If you want you could add 1/2 cup of chopped fresh cilantro and / or 1-2 green onions
What to do:
- Whisk lime juice, sugar, fish sauce, dry shrimps and garlic in a medium bowl and let it set for later. If you can plan and prepare it a few hours before you eat it will be even better.
- Peel turnip cabbage and carrots with a julienne peeler and place it in a large bowl.
- Add tomatos, corn and chillies (and cilantro / green onions)
- Mix well with the dressing and sprinkle peanuts over just before you serve.
Good apetite!
