Som Tum, Thai Foods

Green papaya salad is the most popular dish among women in Thailand according to a survey I heard on TV there. It is a Northeastern food that is eaten with sticky rice and other Northeastern dishes such as laab, beef salad and bamboo shoot salad.

The two most popular types of green papaya salad have either dried shrimp or salted crab. Green papaya salad with dried shrimp and peanuts is called som tum thai. The green papaya salad with salted crab is called som tum pbooh. The majority of the ingredients are the same.

Thai Desserts

Bua Loi (บัวลอย - Thai Rice Balls in Coconut Milk)

Bua Loi, Thai Rice Balls in Coconut Milk

Usually Thai desserts are served cold, but this one is unique as it is meant to be served warm. Very fragrant and easy to make.

Ingredients

3 cups glutinous rice flour
1.5 teaspoons pandan essence
4 cups coconut cream
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon salt
3 eggs (optional)

Method

Mix the rice flour with enough water to make a stiff paste. The pandan essence should be added to the water before mixing with the rice flour. Knead well and then form pea-sized balls. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, toss in the balls and remove when they float to the surface. Drain. Bring half the coconut cream to a boil, stirring constantly to prevent it from separating, then add the flour balls. When the mixture returns to a boil, remove from heat and stir in the remaining coconut cream. Serve as dessert in small bowls. Thais often add sweet corn kernels to the final product.

If serving this dish with eggs, in a separate saucepan bring water to a boil and reduce heat, crack eggs one at a time into the water. When eggs are done, remove from water and set aside. One egg should be added to each bowl prior to serving.
