My friend and I are "addicted" to this salad at our local Thai haunt- I made this for her for her birthday, and she flipped! Very good!- I add more garlic and sometimes throw in grated carrots, sprouts and julienned green onions. The food processor makes short work of the veggie grating- you can also make the dressing in it(separately). VERY EASY!

Very good. Having grown up with best friends from Thailand, I ate this daily and learned to make this the traditional way of the Thai people. It best to have large mortar and pestle. Then the only things I do suggest is that for the most part, Som Tom is made with pickled mud fish sauce or shrimp paste versus the fish sauce. Also, we usually use cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes. We normally leave out the cashews. This is very good recipe though. Like all recipes, there are as many versions of Som Tom as there are soups! Many times you can use mango or cucumber or even carrots instead of Papaya! One of my all time favorites!! I love it with sticky rice best of all!

This is exactly how it should be done. Although, I did substitute chili garlic sauce for the birds eye chilies.
