Som Tam is one of those dishes you need to try if you have the chance to visit Thailand. It's spicy, sour, and so delicious that you'll want to eat more than one serving. This dish contains green papaya, which is shredded, mixed with a dressing made of fish sauce, lime juice, dried shrimp, and ground peanuts, then topped with bird's eye chilis and crushed roasted rice. You can find Som Tam at almost every restaurant in Thailand, along with other Thai dishes like pad thai or red curry. What makes it a fun foodie experience to watch is that whenever you walk down to any bustling street in Thailand and hear the rhythmic beat of the wooden pestles striking clay mortars, you'll feel called to stop and just watch the vendors prepare the iterations of the Som Tam.
