Tam Sua

Papaya Salad with Rice Noodles

is a variation of the well-known papaya salad from Isaan. Garlic, Thai chilis and palm sugar are pounded in a clay mortar, then mixed with fermented fish sauce and lime juice. In this dressing, strips of unripe papaya and further ingredients such as tomatoes, snake beans and peanuts are combined by gentle pounding. The resulting salad is then mixed with cooled or lukewarm rice noodles. Additional ingredients such as Moo Yor can also be added. This dish is also known as “Som Tam Sua” ( ).
