Som tam ‘ spicy papaya salad ‘ comes from northeast Thailand, but it’s reached near-cult status throughout the rest of the country. Slight regional differences in ingredients means placement on the sweet-or-sour scale may vary greatly between restaurants. Common to all recipes is shredded green papaya and a healthy dose of heat.
