The Thai dish som tam, or green papaya salad, is wonderfully refreshing. In restaurants, it comes as the cook makes it. But Thailand’s street stalls and specialist som tam shops will tailor the dish to your tastes with additions such as shredded carrot, dried shrimp, small salted crabs (so tiny most of the shells are edible) or boiled salted egg. The vendor will even ask how spicy you like it. Take the same attitude when you make it yourself and add seasonings to suit your taste.Som tamMy Thai…
