Cooking tips

  • The key to maintaining a crisp texture is to gently pound while mixing with a spoon so the vegetables don't get crushed.
  • If palm sugar is unavailable, you can substitute it with sugar. Adjust the amount of lime juice and chili peppers to suit your preferred level of sourness and spiciness.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to recreate the authentic crisp and tangy taste of Thai som tam at home.
  • Those looking for a refreshing and palate-cleansing salad to awaken the appetite on a dull day.
  • Those who want to try making a classic Southeast Asian appetizer or drinking snack themselves.
