Vegan Green Papaya Salad (Som Tam)
Som Tam – Green Papaya Salad is the best known salad in whole Thailand. You can find similar versions of this salad in Laos as well. Som Tam is tradionally made with fish sauce but in our vegan version we replaced it with soy sauce and it is less tasty then the original salad. If you don´t have or if you don´t want to buy a green papaya you also can use carrots or cucumber instead of papaya.
