After a long day at Uni. I came back home for a big dinner with Aey. We had a lot of food from the market as we both were hungry.
Somtam poo for me
Somtam pra rha for Aey. Her dish look nicer than mine. :D
Ingredients
8-12 Thai chillies (bird peppers), each cut into 3-4 segments
8 cloves garlic, peeled and cut each into 2-3 pieces
2 Tbs. small dried shrimp
4 cups julienned peeled unripe papaya - in strips 2-3 inches long and 1/8 inch thick
1 cup cut long beans - 1 1/2-inch-long segments
1 julienned carrot
1/4 cup tamarind juice the thickness of fruit concentrate
Juice of 2-3 limes, to taste
2-3 Tbs. fish sauce, to taste
2-3 Tbs. palm sugar, melted with 1 Tbs. water into a thick syrup - use as needed
2 small tomatoes, cut into bite-size wedges; or 12 cherry tomatoes, halved
Directions
1. Peel the papaya and rinse with running water to remove the acid. Remove the seeds and shred the papaya with a grater. Set aside.
2. Place the garlic cloves and the chilies in a mortar and mash with a pestle until crushed into chunks. Place the papaya and the remaining ingredients in the mortar and gently combine all ingredients by mixing with the pestle and a spoon. Serve cold.
