Just a quick question… Do you think I can use turnips instead of the rutabaga? I’ve looked at I cannot find rutabaga’s :) thanks! Love Green Papaya Salad, but I’m trying to watch the sugar content and carbs in my diet.
Can you substitute white sugar or brown sugar for the palm sugar if you can’t find it?
I use cucumber when I don’t have papaya and also use tamerind and a bit of crab paste as well to add for salted flavor. My mother is from Issan part of thailand where they use pickled fish sauce for som tam.
Hi maangchi ! Today , I made som tam with apple ! It was a little spicy and very crunchy ! Yum !
oh this sounds delicious! It makes me very happy to hear that you all are trying out different versions with alternative ingredients. Normally Thai people make Som Dtum with carrots if they cannot find papaya (as stated correctly by unchienne below). I will try the apple version. Did you use a sour apple like Granny Smith?
Happy New Year !!
Yum, yum. I love papaya salad. It goes very, very well with stewed mackerel. Grab some hot rice, a bit of stewed mackerel and a bit of salad all on a spoon…the perfect bite.
Made mine with the swede/rutabaga. It was great for those first few bites but after a day or so the rutabaga flavor started to come out very strongly…unlike the papaya which remains sort of neutral as a base for the sauce. I think maybe one reason was that I forgot to rinse the starch off. Anyways, it was still delicious. Thank you for posting.
Oh, and on a side note, when my mom’s Thai friends couldn’t get hold of green papaya, they’d use grated carrot. I can’t wait to try out the alternate mango and cucumber versions you’ve listed here.
oh my! Your description about this dish makes me get hungry now. I sometimes use green mangoes and it always turns out delicious, too.
i love thai dishes and thai food! the balance of sweet spicy sour and salty! i was in phuket thailand 3 years ago on a cruise from singapore! :D you know what i have a thai friend in fb who also loves food like me and my fellow auditionee in biggest loser asia! :D
Happy New Year everyone!! ^^
Thanks ….. Happy new year ^_^
It’s a refreshing light recipe Tnaya , Thanks foe sharing it with us , I noticed that you have a beautiful traditional Tunisian ” green-yellow” dish .. do you know its Tunisian?
Hi Maha, thank you very much. I am glad you like it!
The small bowl you mean? I didn’t know that. A friend of ours brought it from Portugal, but maybe it was imported from Tunisia? I like it very much, because it looks quite unusual ^^
Hi Tanya …. Happy new year ^_^

I recognized it because i lived in Tunis for many years … Tunisians love these kind of colorful dishes … maybe it was imported from there … the world is very small ^_^

Happy New Year to you too! :D
