ชุดพื้นบ้านอีสาน Traditional Costume in Northeastern | THAILAND 🇹🇭

"ชุดพื้นบ้านอีสาน และส้มตำ อาหารพื้นบ้าน" Traditional Costume and "Som Tum: ส้มตำ" or "Tum mak hung: ตำหมากหุ่ง" Papaya salad in Northeastern, Thailand.

 

"Som Tum" the most famous Thai salad featuring green papaya and a spicy chile pepper dressing. The multitude of flavors from this salad explode in your mouth - sweet, tart, crunchy, and a touch of spiciness—the perfect side dish or a light entree.

Traditionally, Som Tam is pounded with a mortar and pestle, which can be fun at times.

 

However, it's also messy and a lot of work. To make this tasty green papaya salad much easier to toss together, simply turn to your handy food processor or chopper. This Thai recipe was adapted for that modern convenience and there is very little difference in the taste.

Top it with shrimp or chicken for a full meal or eat it with sticky rice as is frequently done in Thailand.
