Thai Green Papaya Salad Recipe
Today, I want to show you how to make Som Tam! Som Tam is a Thai green papaya salad with fish sauce. The smell of fish sauce is quite similar to Koren Kimchi, so Korean people call it Thai Kimchi ;) I got this green papaya at the supermarket in Korea but turned out it wasn't "green papaya" when I peel off it was yellow!! :( It was such shame but I still made it and it was super yummy! Som Tam is such perfect food for summer so since the weather is getting warmer I hope you guys try this recipe! Let's get started.
