    HELLO LOVELY VIEWERS! Important Note:
    If you have questions about this recipe, you can post it here for the community to answer. But if you want to ask me, please get in touch via Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or my website (all links are in the description above). If you leave questions in the comments I may not see them due to the large volume of comments I receive across the hundreds of videos on this channel.
    Also, before sending on any questions be sure to read the written recipe on the website as I often add extra tips and notes not covered in the video.
    Thank you for watching!

      Hi, thanks for this awesome vid. I have a question can this possibly put in a jar and make it like papaya salad in a jar. If I preserved it how many days it will last?

      Our friend wiggy from Thailand whom we so dearly love so much like part of our family because we have known her since the eighties and have found her again after losing contact with her used to make this and I used to love it so much. Sometimes she would make milder versions both hot and fish-wise and sometimes she would make it strong. I remember how at first I was grossed out by the smell and taste of it but over time I loved eating it. Sometimes when she made the much weaker ones I would not enjoy it as much. Now that I know what is in this delicious recipe I will enjoy it even more. I think I will head out to my local Laos food restaurant and order some of this; "the strong one." Thank you so much for sharing this from you and Wiggys beautiful culture. Love you Wiggy.

    For the palm sugar, I often just let it soak in the lime juice that I squeezed out. The acidity breaks and dissolves the hard pieces of sugar. Dissolving could take a while depending how big the sugar pieces are.

      Glad to hear that and hope to see you including other upvoters after the COVID gone. However please don't expect too much from us. Thailand is just a small and humble country which, like every places, has both good and bad people/things. Expecting something too much usually leads to disappointment because it does not meet our level of expectation, even though it might be OK. Anyway, you are always welcome here. Be our guests anytime.

    I went to Thailand 5 times and this is my favorite Thai dish. What you did is great - I would add to it stinky pickled crab or even raw softshell crab, Makok fruit and the salty egg yolk from those Chinese salted boiled eggs. I usually add 4 egg yolks as the fat cuts thru the sour quite well. Roasted cashew goes well on the top too.
