Tiger Mike's SOM TAM ESAN OR MALAKOR

Dear Linus,
Hope you got back to Kuching safely. Re: our conversation on 9th Feb @ The Dog, socking to you the recipe that you like. Please give the appropriate wpn trg lesson to our gang in Sarawak.

The papaya must be dark green and firm.

1 medium dark green papaya
4 garlic cloves
6 cilli padi
2 tomatoes, cut into wedges
1/2 cup chopped green beans, in 1-in pieces
1 tbsp budu or Thai fish sauce.( Budu is better.)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup lime juice or air asam jawa

Peel the papaya and rinse with running water to remove the acid. Remove the seeds and shred the papaya with a grater. Set aside.
Place the garlic cloves and the cillis in a mortar and mash with a pestle until crushed into chunks. Place the papaya and the remaining ingredients into the mortar and gently combine all ingredients by mixing with the pestle and a spoon.
If you need any Thai recipe, happy to oblige. I learnt much from Fred.
