Thai Papaya Salad (Som Tum)

Step 2: Bruise the vegetables

Fruit & vegetables

  • Green papaya, thinly sliced
    1-2
  • Green Beans, roughly chopped
    a handful
  • Tomatoes, roughly chopped
    a handful

In batches, lightly crush the papaya shreds and vegetables in the same mortar & pestle. This will bruise and allow them to soak more of the dressing.
