Kim Yoo-ah's Cucumber Som Tam

A traditional Thai cucumber salad with crisp cucumbers and a tangy, sweet, and spicy seasoning

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Thai cucumber salad should be eaten immediately after mixing to preserve its crisp texture and prevent excess moisture from making the dressing watery.
  • When diluting tamarind paste with water, avoid making it too thin, as this can dull the savory depth and refreshing tang of the dressing.
  • When tossing the cucumber and carrot, do not crush or mash them—use the pestle to gently roll and coat them to maintain their crisp, crunchy texture.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to easily and simply recreate authentic Thai flavors at home.
  • People looking for a refreshing, spicy salad to pair with greasy dishes.
