Somtum Salad
Green beans contain many essential vitamin B and protein. Protein is also essential to a healthy immune system. Papaya is rich in vitamin C, vitamin E, and beta-carotene which is a vital nutrient for health. Somtum is a perfect example of the balance of flavours in Thai food. This dish is slightly sour from fresh lime juice, salty from fish sauce and has a fabulous kick of spice that mellows in the sweet shredded green bean and papaya. We also offer a simple recipe to making Somtum Salad easily.
