Savoring the Taste of Thailand: Exploring the Delights of Som Tam



SOM TAM at Sukhothai Restaurant in Brussels

In the colorful tapestry of Thai cuisine, few dishes capture the essence of freshness and flavor quite like Som Tam. This iconic dish, also known as Green Papaya Salad, is a celebration of vibrant colors, bold spices, and refreshing ingredients that come together to create a culinary masterpiece that delights the senses and invigorates the palate.


A Burst of Freshness

At the heart of Som Tam lies the crisp and crunchy green papaya, thinly shredded to create delicate ribbons that provide the perfect canvas for the flavors that follow. Mixed with an array of fresh vegetables such as tomatoes, green beans, and carrots, Som Tam bursts with color and vitality, inviting diners to indulge in a symphony of textures and tastes.


Sliced Grilled Scampi: A Savory Addition

To elevate the dish to new heights, tender slices of grilled scampi are added to Som Tam, infusing the salad with a savory richness that perfectly complements the bright and zesty flavors of the papaya and vegetables. The scampi, grilled to perfection, adds a delightful smokiness and depth of flavor that takes Som Tam to the next level, transforming it from a simple salad into a culinary delight.


The Zesty Kick of Lime Sauce

No Thai dish would be complete without a burst of citrusy tang, and Som Tam is no exception. A zesty lime sauce, made with fresh lime juice, fish sauce, and a touch of sugar, is drizzled over the salad, infusing it with a tangy sweetness that tantalizes the taste buds and leaves a refreshing sensation on the palate. The lime sauce ties together the flavors of the papaya, vegetables, and scampi, creating a harmonious balance that is both bright and invigorating.
