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.
What I love about this video is that she went through the technique and process thoroughly, not just the recipe. We have a lot of papaya trees and chili plants in the farm. Cannot wait to try this. 🇵🇭
Im glad Im from Sri Lanka because almost all of the ingredients are easily found here. I have papayas, limes, chillies and long beans in my garden so I don't have to spend too much on this delicious dish ♥️
For me, Green Papaya Salad takes the crown. In my humble opinion it's pretty much the best salad in the world. It is such a taste explosion Thank you for this quick and easy recipe.
My mom use cucumber or vermicelli noodles also. I used carrots or raw mango :) in Thailand they have so many varieties and even corn or crab but that's another recipe. Also shrimp.
Dear Pai, eversince I was in Thailand last year I am cooking Thai inspired dishes. I am really happy I found your channel and with all your great explanations I get better and better. Thank you so much for inspiration, your secret tricks you reveal and explain....and your english is so nice and good to listen to!
I followed your recipe and it turns out really good 👍 exactly like the one I used to have when I was in Bangkok,thank you! I’ve been missed som tum for soooo long time, I went to three Asian supermarkets to gather all the tools and ingredients , it totally worth it!
I do not usually use tamarind in my papaya salad but with your recipe, it’s seriously spot on Thai flavors! I now use it all the time! Thank you for this recipe! Yum!
We all loved it when we were in Thailand.. every single day we enjoyed it... I loved the way YOU explained the recipe... I'll definitely give it a try...
Years ago I watched this video, purchased all the ingredients (including palm sugar that I still have), made at home. It was a sticky endeavor & I used too much pepper, but I crave this salad! I don’t make it very often, but when I do...I use this recipe. Thank you.
I just want to say that your video was so very refreshing and so clear in the instructions. I love your enthusiasm and natural manner. I hope you are still doing this - making videos on You tube. Excellent!
Som Tum was my favourite dish in Thailand. I actually prefer the Som Tum Poo Pla from the Isaan region, which seemed to surprise many locals as westerners tend to shy away from that variety. I'll definitely make this some time soon!
the moment you chop the papaya with the big knife, it changes my entire life. I can julienne the papaya better than anyone in my house now. Thanks Pai! Love from Indonesia.
I lived in Thailand for 5 months and discovered som tum. Easily one of my favorite dishes in the world. Thanks for explaining it so well! I'm gonna make myself some as a New Years treat :)
Thank you so much for making this video!! The first time I made papaya salad I watched your video and it’s the only video I would watch when making papaya salad now!! So yummy!
My whole family love papaya salad. We remember this when we were children, living in Singapore in the early 60's. I made one from just memory and what my mum remembered from when we were there. It turned out okayish!, but it can be better, after having watched you making the authentic version with the right ingredients. I'll be out shopping for the ingredients and making one very soon. Can't wait
Claymore007 I was wondering what makes thai papaya salad and Laos papaya salad different. I mean I know they’re different but I wanted to know in both distinctive ways and thai is sweeter and sour and Laos is spicy and fishy
Great recipe and explanations! I used it as inspiration for a vegetarian version. A little lemon pickle (Indian pickle) took the place of the pickled crabs and gave complexity + acidity + some salt and heat. Delicious!
Made this recipe and it was AMAZING. The first Thai dish I've made at home that was actually better than what I've gotten at a restaurant. I used the 3 Crabs Fish sauce that you've recommended and I think it really makes a difference, it's just not as funky as the other ones I've cooked with.
Thank you for the lovely recipe! I microwaved the chili and garlic because I don't like the taste of them raw but even after that it still tasted really good, dare I say, even better than the one I had in Bangkok
Thank you .I finally found your video that showed the real Thai papaya salad. I watched so many CREATIVE videos that people add basil, maple syrup, and tamarind paste. I just want a real Thai papaya salad.😊
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.
I love your videos Pai coz it's not just about recipes. You teach us techniques and Thai culture as well. Bravo. This green papaya salad makes me wanna go to the market and get all the ingredients and make it myself. LOL. :)
I learn to slice and cut the lime and rest of the citruses the right way now...thanks so much! By the way, this salad is heaven on Earth...thanks Angel!
I'm gonna try to make this. Cambodians have a similar salad, we call it "bok lahong". It translates to pound/beat papaya. Bok= pound/beat/crash, Lahong= papaya. Thanks for sharing.
I know this is late but I'm so glad I found this channel. I have always wanted to travel to Thailand and experience the food and culture. This only rekindles my need to go!
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.
This was one of daily eating dish ....which I used to eat in chonburi's ...restaurant But In India ...I saw this and now I am able to have it again Thailand is a great place
Thank you for this recipe Pailin. 😃 I just made this for my family today and all of them loved it. Even though I used salt to season instead of fish sauce (as we are short on it), the dish still tastes amazing. ❤
I've watched a lot of asian cooking but love yours the most! I like your not over the top attitude and keep things very informative. Thanks for the recipe!
Pai: I made my first Green Papaya salad today using your cookbook recipe, along with my new mortar and pestle (the clay one specific foWr GPS. I used 1 Tbsp fish sauce + 1 Tbsp Shrimp paste. It was excellent!
That’s the Laos version with crab paste. Will stink the house but worth it and add carrot to it for a beautiful color and taste great then try sweet rice (aka sticky rice) instead,you will love this which I love every time I make my papaya salad.
OMG!!! A little bit salty crispy chicken skin makes me mad as it can get along well with papaya salad. Have you ever tried crispy pork skin? It is yummy, too.
I’m from Malaysia but never been to thailand..i had the best som tum in Langkawi because it is close to the border..many thais have stalls there..really delicious..
The salad is amazing. Great job! I have one request if at all possible you could make green chicken curry which I remember eating in Northern Thailand. thanks for all the great videos
Awesome video. Really helped me learn how to make my husband and I Som Tum at home. I’ll have to check out your laab videos to see if there’s something I can change with how I make mine.
A thai friend of mine taught me how to cut a lime the thai way back in middle school and you’re right, I’ve been cutting a lime that way ever since. It changes everything!
I love Thai culture which I learnt from watching Thai series - always wanted to eat som tum thai but was worried that I wouldn’t be able to eat uncooked prawns and other seafood I usually see in most of the dishes so really glad that it can be made with cooked prawns - dehydrated as seen here definitely trying it. Thanks a million.❤❤❤
so love your channel Pai. Som Tam looks fabulous, gotta try this one for sure! And by the way, every time I hold your cookbook in my hands I can't put it away :)
You are absolutely right...its very different to what is offered in restaurants around the world. One question though...is it absolutely necessary to put dried shrimp in the papaya salad coz i really dont like the taste and smell of the dried shrimp? Also any alternative to the dried shrimp?
WOW!!! Yummy Papaya Salad Recipe by the great Chef Pailin's kitchen.Perfect presentation good create good taste mouth watering beautiful color good texture nice crunchy Rich sauce and wonderful ingredients to make very delicious Papaya Salad.Thanks for your dedication and hard work that will be appreciated 😘❤️ God bless you and your family always with Good health Good luck and happiness.I love your cooking show.

what's the alternative if i don't have mortar and pestle? you told n your video you'll suggest it but i can't find it on the description part.
Pailin's Kitchen what if i dont have mortar and pesle?

Thank you for this quick and easy recipe.
You really have a flare or knack for doing a great presentation. It was very clear , easy to follow and your personality shines. Thank you.
I didn’t have papaya so I used cucumber and jicama and it was still so bomb! Honestly it’s the sauce that makes this recipe in my opinion
Carrot or corn also very good
I was thinking green mango too
Actually this exist in thailand too, som tam tang
@@dueyduey1611 wow i never knew that 😍
My mom use cucumber or vermicelli noodles also. I used carrots or raw mango :) in Thailand they have so many varieties and even corn or crab but that's another recipe. Also shrimp.
This is the Best..You explain it soo nicely and understandable..Sooo good!I love Papaya Salad...

Som Tam and Thai beer on the beach. Best thing ever.
Plus bbq chicken
With some larb gai and rice too!
And a little bag of thai whisky that you pierce and drink with a straw
@@DAIO12345 Or BBQ pork jowl.
@@uttopya1 Even better - SangSom, where they bring you the whole damn bottle with some ice and soda water to mix as you like.
Looks great and I agree, fresh lime is a must!
I make this recipe nearly every week....it's just awesome..
We all loved it when we were in Thailand.. every single day we enjoyed it... I loved the way YOU explained the recipe... I'll definitely give it a try...
I made this for my wife and daughter and they loved it!! Bad news they want it all the time now.
Grew up with Som Tum, bring back a lot of childhood memories, thank you !
Years ago I watched this video, purchased all the ingredients (including palm sugar that I still have), made at home. It was a sticky endeavor & I used too much pepper, but I crave this salad! I don’t make it very often, but when I do...I use this recipe. Thank you.
Really sophisticated presentation. From what I remember living in Thailand you presented the correct version of home made papaya salad.
Haha omg I just love the way she talks and the spirit she has, thanks for the recipe
I just want to say that your video was so very refreshing and so clear in the instructions. I love your enthusiasm and natural manner. I hope you are still doing this - making videos on You tube. Excellent!
Pai is one of my favorite cities in Thailand, I loved every minute of it
Every little thing I make is finally awesome! Thank you so much Pailin! You've changed our thai kitchen life. Best from Poland!

Hi Pailin. I prepared the salad for 13 people yesterday. All I can say: Very delicious, and so fresh. Thanks for that stunning recipe. Greets!
ดูเเล้วนํ้าลายไหลเลยครับ ❤️❤️❤️

Omg this is one of my favorite dishes. They don't know how to make it over here though lol. Homemade is always better!
I agree with you 100%.
Claymore007 I was wondering what makes thai papaya salad and Laos papaya salad different. I mean I know they’re different but I wanted to know in both distinctive ways and thai is sweeter and sour and Laos is spicy and fishy
Laos style usually use padek which is a preserved fermented fish sauce. thai style use the light fish sauce most people are familiar with
I love this video. She explains clearly
So glad I bought her cookbook!!! Every dish I made is soo authentic and delicious
Please make video of yor cooking..
Awesome and thanks!! :) Adam
I will open my own tomyum restaurant in the Philippines next year and this papaya will be a compliment. Thanks
Great recipe and explanations! I used it as inspiration for a vegetarian version. A little lemon pickle (Indian pickle) took the place of the pickled crabs and gave complexity + acidity + some salt and heat. Delicious!
Omg ! I remember making this helping my Thai friend 25 years ago. She had me cut it with a machete outside on the patio.
Lol! That's gangster af!
Made this recipe and it was AMAZING. The first Thai dish I've made at home that was actually better than what I've gotten at a restaurant. I used the 3 Crabs Fish sauce that you've recommended and I think it really makes a difference, it's just not as funky as the other ones I've cooked with.
Megachef, three crab and Thai kitchen is my favorite.
Papya salad has to be in the top 10 dishes in the world...
Thank you for the lovely recipe! I microwaved the chili and garlic because I don't like the taste of them raw but even after that it still tasted really good, dare I say, even better than the one I had in Bangkok
Thank you .I finally found your video that showed the real Thai papaya salad. I watched so many CREATIVE videos that people add basil, maple syrup, and tamarind paste. I just want a real Thai papaya salad.😊
I had spicy papaya salad for the first time 2 days ago and it was amazing! I feel like it might be a new obsession
Love from india. You made it so easy ... I’m gonna try it today. Your explanation is so simple and detailed one.
I love everything about this channel!!!
Me too
Made this with green mango (couldn't find papaya anywhere) and it's just like in a restaurant. Great!
Thanks
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.
Brown coco nut sugar or even white sugar is basically just as good. I see most vendors in Thailand use white sugar.
😮
I'm from NE India and I love this salad and your recipe is the one i go to each time.. Every time it never fails to impress.
I love your videos Pai coz it's not just about recipes. You teach us techniques and Thai culture as well. Bravo. This green papaya salad makes me wanna go to the market and get all the ingredients and make it myself. LOL. :)
I used to eat this every day for lunch when I lived in Bangkok. You are so adorable!
I go to this place in NY that makes a delicious salad. Can’t wait for my next NYC trip. This is all I want.
I love the description and how you're explaining everything. Can't wait to try this!! Thank you.
I learn to slice and cut the lime and rest of the citruses the right way now...thanks so much! By the way, this salad is heaven on Earth...thanks Angel!
this is my absolute fave. Had it at Buddhist festival in Wimbledon. Good memories.
Wat Buddhapadipa:)
@@rubym3808 yes it was :)
Papaya salad is one of my favorite dishes I like it the traditional Thai style and the Laos style with the "Dirty fish sauce'
I'm gonna try to make this. Cambodians have a similar salad, we call it "bok lahong". It translates to pound/beat papaya. Bok= pound/beat/crash, Lahong= papaya. Thanks for sharing.
guitrich my yay yay makes this salad for Christmas usually. It’s so spicy but delicious!
I’m salivating..
So yummy

This was one of daily eating dish ....which I used to eat in chonburi's ...restaurant
But In India ...I saw this and now I am able to have it again
Thailand is a great place
You can use cucumber instead of papaya, too. Try it. You will find a different texture of this dish.
Omg, I was salivating like crazy!!!! Looks soo good!
Agreed. The food's not bad either...
Just got back from Thailand and I'm obsessed with this dish
This is my favorite dish to eat when I was in Thailand... Thank you Pai for an awesome recipe, I can't wait to make it now for myself
You are my go to Thai Cooking channel.
Omg! I always order this salad whenever we eat on a thai res. Definitely gonna do this! 💜
One of my favorite salads! I love from 🇦🇪
God bless, You! I learned a lot, give a man a fish feed him for a day, give him the knowledge to fish, feed him for life.
Just watching her presentation is fun.
You are very cute with an original impeccable US accent. I love the way you present the recipe. Very professional approach.
Hi...I had tried this in Bangkok...I loved it, after watching your video I m gonna surely try it...
Thank you for this recipe Pailin. 😃 I just made this for my family today and all of them loved it. Even though I used salt to season instead of fish sauce (as we are short on it), the dish still tastes amazing. ❤
I have a friend and he bring me authentic Thai papaya salad and I start loving it.
Yum, my absolute favourite. My mouth is drooling. I want to go to Bangkok. 🤤
That Singha would go so well with the salad!
As a child in Laos, this is called TAMAHONG. We love it and it's nice remembering as I look for green papaya recipe.

I made this dish so many times now based on the old version, always nice to see a refresh. Love this recipe. Thank you!
I love this ... Topped with Crispy Chicken Skin and sticky rice ... sooooooo good!!
OMG!!! A little bit salty crispy chicken skin makes me mad as it can get along well with papaya salad. Have you ever tried crispy pork skin? It is yummy, too.

Hi Pailin, you make cooking look fun. I've made a couple of your dishes and they've come out really good. I really enjoy your show.
Oh yum
I'm thai and live in germany
I'm already salivating watching this video
I miss the good fresh ingredients
I love a salad that makes me feel alive
My absolute favourite salad. My mouth is watering just looking at your video. Want to run to Bangkok.
I love to add either fermented crabs or salted duck egg in mine. Thanks again Paï
เป็นคนไทยค่า ชอบตำปูปลาร้า poopara salad🥰
The salad is amazing. Great job! I have one request if at all possible you could make green chicken curry which I remember eating in Northern Thailand. thanks for all the great videos
Awesome video. Really helped me learn how to make my husband and I Som Tum at home. I’ll have to check out your laab videos to see if there’s something I can change with how I make mine.
Pai, Just ordered my pestle and mortar, cannot wait to try your recipe as this is one of my favorite Thai salads.
With shredded mango is super yummy
Excellent demo! I can't wait to try this.
A thai friend of mine taught me how to cut a lime the thai way back in middle school and you’re right, I’ve been cutting a lime that way ever since. It changes everything!
Added to my UA-cam list called "Yummy foods I would love to make but never will get around to it."
Lmao I’m going to actually give this one a try 🤣🤤
I'm not terribly find of papaya so I made it with slightly ripe mango.. Was yum.. Thank you
The most important ingredient here is the Singha! :D Born and raised in Thailand, love som tum. But i love the isaan version more :)
I love Thai culture which I learnt from watching Thai series - always wanted to eat som tum thai but was worried that I wouldn’t be able to eat uncooked prawns and other seafood I usually see in most of the dishes so really glad that it can be made with cooked prawns - dehydrated as seen here definitely trying it. Thanks a million.❤❤❤
I've never had, but my mouth waters every time. Yum
Your missing out!!! you neeeeeed to try this! Its a must!!! :)
Thank you so much for your video. I made it for my picky child today. She loved it. I didn't use tamarind But it was still good. Thanks.
so love your channel Pai. Som Tam looks fabulous, gotta try this one for sure!
And by the way, every time I hold your cookbook in my hands I can't put it away :)
You are absolutely right...its very different to what is offered in restaurants around the world. One question though...is it absolutely necessary to put dried shrimp in the papaya salad coz i really dont like the taste and smell of the dried shrimp? Also any alternative to the dried shrimp?
Yes. You can skip it if you don't like it. The great alternative for dried shrimps should be regular shrimp.
