But if you want to ask me, please get in touch via Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or my website (all links are in the description above).

Pailin's Kitchen hi pai can u please write for me the ingridients plss...thank you

[@mindrani3784]

Hi Pailin, Do you have a Vegan option of this Papaya Salad!?

[@MrLouie63]

Finally a cook/chef that explains in plain, clean, clear english. Beautifully done and well explained papaya salad lao/thai. And explain the difference between two regions, how to say clearly the words. I super love it. THANK YOU Pai!

[@stephenbouchelle7706]

My wife - Northern Thai - makes this in the US with carrots and cabbage, and sometimes tart green apples added. All the rest is straight som tum. It’s a hit and Farangs call it Thai cole slaw. Recent to this channel and I really enjoy the videos and ideas.

[@williamrhea3535]

I spent three years in Udorn and learned to make this and sticky rice. As I watched you make this it brought back fond memories and come to think on it I think I will grab a papaya off my tree in my front yard and make some. Best of luck to you and good cooking.

[@brianhudson7822]

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE YOUR CHANNEL. SOM TUM IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SALADS. I WANTED SOME THE OTHER DAY BUT REALIZED I HAD NO PAPAYA. I LOOKED IN MY CRISPER BIN AND FOUND A NICE GREEN/WHITE CABBAGE. LET ME SAY, IT WAS AWESOME. I WOULD ENCOURAGE ANYONE WITHOUT ACCESS TO GREEN PAPAYA TO GIVE THIS AMAZING DISH A TRY USING FRESH CABBAGE.

[@lj6497]

Best recipe I came across for shredded papaya salad. I really wanted to try making the original version of this Thai salad, had tasted and made updated version of this salad but this looks better. Will try making it

[@jenn5594]

I posted a picture of myself making this in Chiang Mai, to your Facebook page. Thank you for the video! It's amazing, and I just had some tonight too. One of my favorite Thai salads I've tried so far.

[@PailinsKitchen]

Hi there! You can absolutely make this a couple of hours ahead. Make the whole thing, wrap it well and put it in the fridge (it's almost better cold!). When you are ready to serve, just toss it again because the dressing will fall to the bottom as it sits. I would also crush the peanuts separately and add them during final tossing so they stay crunchy. Good luck!

[@cl9479]

Pailin your videos are such a blessing to the internet. Hehehe. They are so well made and creative. The Thai recipes you make have really helped me to become proficient in the Kitchen. This video I have watched many times to make Som Tum for parties and dinners with friends. Friends love this salad so much that they ask me to show them how I make it. I always give you credit as my instructor to friends. I'm working on making your recipe for Spicy Thai Chicken.

[@GreenHell840]

My fiancé loves this dish very much. She says it's the best she has ever had. Thank you for posting this video!

[@sooner61]

I love that mortar and pestle! I have been making papaya salad several times a week but without the tamarind sauce or fermented fish paste. (or pickled crab for that matter) I was in Isaan and ate that every day and made a video of them making it but still learned a lot from your video! I am so glad I found your videos. The first one was learning Thai phrases. Now I'm hooked.

[@franc_8882]

i tried it before & enjoyed it my thai friends introduced this papaya salad to me, so yummy love it 💖 enjoyed your vlog👍

[@ANN-HAU-9137]

You're one of my favourite KZbinr.After long long time I'm watching this all again, after many days I notice one thing from you, you improved a lot. Mostly your language this means I can improve myself too 😊❤.

[@PailinsKitchen]

Hi there! I know how it's made BUT I have never made it myself because I can buy it easily. It's not soft shell crab we use, they're regular hard-shelled crab but we use small ones. You can try going to an Asian store and find live small crabs. The recipe looks fine but it's big...you might want to cut it in half. Keep it in the fridge if you're going to eat it in the next 3-4 weeks, but for indefinite storing, you can freeze them in the liquid (that's how I buy them from the store here, frozen)

[@rojanthapa1038]

seeing you making this salad already makes my mouth waterfall. thanks for sharing knowledge and will definitely try at home

[@PailinsKitchen]

you can use a molcajete for everything up to the dressing ingredients, and then mix it with the papaya in a larger bowl. But I think it might be too small/shallow for the whole thing. Unless, of course, you have a really big molcajete :)

[@PailinsKitchen]

Healthy skin comes best from the inside. Lots of fruits and veggies and plenty of sleep! Papaya Salad is a very good choice ;)

[@phenlim4973]

Hello hot Thai kitchen I really love your cooking show I’m watching your show all the time I’m Cambodian Canadian

[@ทัศนาลัยคําคง-ฤ1พ]

เข้าใจง่ายดีค่ะ ชอบมาก ชอบสำเนียงด้วยค่ะ

[@spunki66]

When I met my husband he lived with a Lao family and I absolutely love papaya salad, and everything they made was so good. Never ate hot as Thai Chili's and boy I cried but couldn't stop eating it. Trust me I felt it the next day though LOL 😆

[@ecco256]

This looks so good, going to look for the ingredients later today. Love the flavours of Thailand!

[@kabiss]

Thank you for a good and clear demonstration. I like your style and how you can cross from Thai to western culture! Good job!

[@okimike100]

Great teaching skills, and just absolutely beautiful.

[@vinaychopra4722]

Super simple, well explained, too good

[@Esterqjamot]

Omg, one of my favorite thai papa salad but raw crab and the long beans without cooking I can't eat it is still delicious without the 2 recipes? thnk you for sharing😘😘😘

[@PailinsKitchen]

The pickled crab shell is actually quite thin and soft and doesn't shatter the way fresh crab would.

[@hdsinner]

My mom is Esan. She never used peanuts in hers but we'd have fish heads or crab legs in it. I definitely need to try it with the dried shrimp though. And the bla ra...I've had to clean jars that exploded under the sink.

[@mrs.kiefed_entity7974]

Oh how I miss my friend who was Thai! We would eat papaya salad & sticky rice all the time. She went back home. Thanks for the tutorial as I subscribed to your channel. Wonderful & yummy!!

[@pailinchongchitnant6869]

Thanks! Hope you get to make it soon!

[@elynbeth]

This is my favorite Thai dish. I'm so excited that you posted this recipe with all of the detailed help.

[@julietbertez12]

Wow, that is so different from ours. It must really be so appetizing,with lots of delicious added ingredients ❤ Thank you for sharing 😊

[@jliz6295]

I have tried your recipe... sans the pickled crab... and still it came out sooo wellll... thank you so much

[@warci]

your shows are better than most prime time tv stuff!! love the fact you're giving so much info, that i now use, that i can stun people with my thai cooking now :)

[@darktealglasses]

One of my favorite Thai food. I'm a fan of your channel. This is where I can learn to name different Thai dishes in English. 🇹🇭🤤

[@rikilii]

Just made a simplified version of this with strips of cucumber in place of papaya and long beans. It was actually pretty good.

[@bro7269]

The balance of fish sauce/sugar/lime juice is always a moving target. I’ve made this many times and like many things Thai every batch is a little different. The key is to embrace the difference! Once I try to “fix” it, it goes south pretty quick!

[@faithandgracie]

Loved your video...I loved the facts that your directions are so easy to followed. Please keep them coming...

Hi I have recently bought a Thai Kruk( for making Sum tam. It did not come with any manual. Can you please suggest how can I start using the kruk. It is very rough from inside. I love your all the videos especially papaya salad one. Thanks for sharing.

[@PailinsKitchen]

Hi Adam here! If you want to ask her directly rather than put it out to the community (see her note above on comments) you can use one of the links above under "Show more" and then "Connect with me". Cheers!

Thank you so much I learn a lot today and I’m 75 years old who lived in 4 country more the 5 years in each and I think I have been pretty seasoned 🤷🏼‍♀️

Love the way the talk and explain the recipe

[@johnveca2979]

I've traveled Thailand quite a bit over the years and would eat Som Tum everyday, phet mak (not typical for the average American right?) and it became one of my favorite Thai foods. I'm looking forward to making it soon. Great vid and thanks for sharing.

[@cilimosi]

my favourite salad in a whole world !!!!!

[@btboop2000]

Can’t wait to try this recipe! I just bought that exact clay mortar and pestle at my Asian market. Please tell me how to prepare or season the mortar and pestle.

[@indyw3458]

Thank you so much for sharing this video. I’ve just made this dish with you, whilst watching the video. The tastes are amazing!

[@kumsornlandloepet4028]

อธิบายได้ชัดเจนเข้าใจง่าย ขอบคุณมากค่ะ

[@PailinsKitchen]

Hmm, I'm not sure, actually...I've never triedagoong. But if you like the taste of it you could try adding it and see how it tastes!

[@ulrichseigut4940]

Bagoong. You have it in Thailand. It is similar. Not exactly the same. The Thai name is shrimp fry paste. I tasted this before.

[@unknmini5050]

Cambodian,Thai,and Lao have many different ways how to make papaya. Lao people would use shrimp paste, Cambodian people use fermented fish paste, Thai people would do the same. It doesn't matter what kind of method that a person is making Papaya salad.

[@tangsiengly2931]

you right MAST3R...

[@unknmini5050]

I just think it depends on what ingredients you use, it doesn't have to be the same style by country.

[@inesdelahoya2045]

GO GAMERPRO I had a Burmese version in a Burmese restaurant in Oakland, California. It was so good!

[@nanalita8185]

I don’t have papaya here so I use apple as substitutes from our garden. I followed this receipt and it’s as delicious as with papaya. In Thailand they also just it tam apple

[@360DeathBlazE306]

Thank you. I seen a Thai movie a few years ago and they had this salad in it, they called it papaya pok pok. I been wanting to try and make it. I will try it your way. thanks again.

[@writer1986]

I love this! I've been teaching in Korea for 5 months now, and I'm so far from my mom's Hmong-Lao-Thai cooking, that I crave everything South-East Asian. I'm definitely going to make this, although most of the ingredients are hard to find in Korea. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@PailinsKitchen]

you're welcome! Let me know how it goes!

[@tejasjack]

My favorite. My Lao ladies make this all the time. Thanks.

[@failuretocommunicate8690]

I love papaya salad. This looks do good.

[@gtrman9706]

I have papaya growing in my garden,here in Klangdong.I'm going to make this for my wife.Thank you.😊

[@mausiesylvani1521]

Thanks for answering that fast, I intend to make a little bit of papaya I bought shredded ready. Thank you again.

[@Domaneeyang]

I tried making papaya salad before and I just never get the papaya salad to have more liquid like those I saw from Thailand or the one I ate. Do you know how they can make it to have more sauce that doesn’t get soak up?

[@rmis32]

I just followed this recipe and I'm eating it now. I'm loving it. I've always enjoyed it in restaurants, now I can make it for myself at home. I'm overjoyed. Thanks Pailin.

[@leonidarobinson5692]

thanks pailin's for sharing amazing yummy thai dishes 👍👍👍 just wondering if you can tell me if we can change the pork or chicken broth on the steam fish dish that you shared? Because I don't eat any meat at all. Just seafood and vegetables only. please and thank you.

[@FifteenSpatulas]

Woah, I learned something new! Never seen that "chop chop chop" incision technique, how awesome!!

[@sdr196]

Thank you Pai ,for sharing .. I owe you big time

[@rostantramlochan7514]

i always got the version made with cucumber instead of green papaya. its so good

[@mady148]

I grew up in Vientiane, Laos because my dad was with the French Embassy I we used to make it this way without the crabs and pladek (can't take the smell ) we used only fish sauce. It was delicious!

[@jackson4socks]

Pailin - I just made this (minus the crab and milky fish oil) - and aside from me adding 2 chili's (what was I thinking? lol) it is delicious! And I'll eat through the pain because it is really that good. Thank you!

[@PailinsKitchen]

Awesome! And Yum Sap probably uses MSG to boost their flavour, too. Would love to see a photo of it, next time maybe you could post it on the Hot Thai Kitchen Facebook page! :)

[@fakof6231]

Chai! Link mai?

[@leekhammao1367]

Thanks for sharing, I now know how to make Papaya Salad in Thai style. Awesome and beautiful host makes it more attractive. Keep it up....

[@thechefnursedayoff8149]

🖤. Hey pai, can i use kalamansi? It hard to find lime here in my place. And about the tamarind, concentrate or juice will make the salad? Is preety hard to find one also in the grocer around here. TIA.

[@4latemorning]

I been looking for this salad recipe, thank you for sharing. :)

[@arunima29]

I really like your approach to cooking and explaining!! Great videos...And, btw, I think you have gorgeous hair :)

[@junnijapit]

Hi. Did you fried the dried shrimp?? Or just soaked it with hot water??

[@Thespellr]

Awesome recipe! Authentic, but personally I would skip the peanuts and dried shrimp and add more pla rah and some eggplant. I also love magog in som tam! Loving your videos, you rock!!!:) Keep up the good work!

[@tp4754]

One of my favorite Thai food. Yummy

[@KGX470]

The fermented crab is the best part !! Question: I found some packaged papaya salad seasoning in a powder form in my cabinet....how do I use that? What does it replace?

[@PailinsKitchen]

Wow! I've never even seen packaged papaya salad seasoning! …I'm guessing it would replace the lime juice, sugar, fish sauce and tamarind.

[@KGX470]

Oyea there is...I can email you a pic if you want.

[@christianpien]

I'm going back Tuesday. Can't wait to try some of the places you've been. Your videos are awesome btw. Thank you!

OMG, i love you! i just got back from Thailand and i am craving this! Thank you soo much for making this video. Thailand is amazing btw :D

[@lisachen7618]

Absolutely love papaya salad!

[@lukelucy1980]

Really enjoyed this. Love the way you blend old school and new school. Your presentation is so professional. Is there a substitute for dried shrimp. Hard to source where I live, and from farmed shrimp...

[@vuhoang71]

Look yummy 👍🏼👍🏼 Thank you for your sharing I am going to make this for my love one 😃😃

[@pearlcrystal7802]

I love papaya salad but I don’t think the kind I get has all of these fish sauces ... can you make the American version ? Idk where to buy all these sauces looks amazing !!!

[@AdamHotThaiKitchen]

Hi Pearl! Did you check out hot-thai-kitchen.com/locate-a-thai-grocer/ to see if there is a store near you?

[@knyghtryder3599]

Where do you live ? You can always order on ebay or Amazon

I've just made this, following the recipe exactly, although I didn't use crab. It is amazingly tasty!!

[@4u25out]

I know what you mean :)

[@marierene7949]

[@rr33463]

I love the lao style papaya salad. I have only had it once and I remember it being really spicy... Like the kind of spicy that u have to keep eating or u feel the burn more. Being in Florida, I can't find the last few ingredients... Especially the crab.

[@knyghtryder3599]

There is a large Thai community in Florida

[@mercy1990]

Just wanted to say for those worried about peanut allergies. You can make this dish without peanuts. The taste is still relavtively the same. My mother always made her som tum without peanuts. I don't know if it was because of it being a regional thing for her (She's from Chai Nat), or if she didn't like peanuts in her som tum. It could be either one. I never asked...hehe

[@nfarahinj.8132]

Hi Pailin! I would like to ask u...is it fish sauce that u mean is that one glass u hold with the picture of squid on it?

[@haydehabdolahian7691]

I think I would use the mixer but make sure not to much every thing too much ! What do you think ?

[@foodfrugal642]

YUM! I wish I had good papaya here... Thanks for sharing, super tempting : ) Liked and subscribed!

[@Kamstarr]

Its good how you explain the difference between Lao and Thai style, both are yummy in their unique way. I would pound a bit more though, but thats my personal preference. Great video.

[@nineteen11fanatic63]

ANYTHING you cook will be delicious you know

[@MaxAlexTigerNova]

Fabulous.....and Awesome recipe....cheers for sharing. regards from Cyprus

[@BeowWulf]

Homemade is definitely the way to go as the spice levels can be adjusted to your own palate. And I agree with some of the commenters here in that I prefer the Lao version. IMO There seems to be a bit more complexity (likely due to the homemade padæk, if you can get it, and the salted crab) than in the Thai version. But sometimes (most times) you're happy with what you can get! :-)

[@classical7]

Yum!!! Gonna make this next time!!

[@anitaalexandria2019]

Just discovered your channel, your videos are great I love cooking too.

[@ruthcamera]

You're so pretty! Are you mix? Btw, where you can get the founding utensil? I went to Thailand last month and celebrated Songkran with my husband and my daughter and we had a great time.Thanks a lot! Great video! I also took a cooking class when I was in Thailand. I love Thai food!

[@PailinsKitchen]

Hi Ruth! I am not mix, actually, pure Asian :) I got the mortar and pestle at an Asian grocery store, you should look there, or also online.
