Please make more Vietnamese salad dishes. Such as Lotus shoots with prawns and or boiled pork belly. Cabbage chicken salad etc . Thank you so much Marion. I also love that you include the country’s name to the dishes.

Hi Marion! I’m Vietnamese, married to a Dutch/German Caucasian man. He doesn’t eat Vietnamese food (sad, but I love him regardless), and I adore Viet food. This looks absolutely yummy! I can’t wait to make it. I live in Southern California and there are many Viet supermarkets 1/2 hour north of us. Will shop for the ingredients to make soon. Btw, I started to binge watch your other videos and am loving all your recipes thus far. I looked for your cookbook, but I can’t find it anywhere. Suggestions? Thanks. Lastly, just found out your birthday is 9/29! So is mine, but 1974. Blessings from the US!

3:40 Marion, I agree, this adds intense textures and flavor bomb with the crunch and juices that have soaked in to the papaya. Som tum and Laos style (tum mak hoong) top favs.

[@dianehouston3114]

Green papaya (like tofu) has no taste at all. We use it in salads for the texture which is crunchy and slightly chewy. The green papaya will take on the flavor from the sauce so the better the sauce you can make, the better the salad will be!

Soy sauce + sugar + warm water

Soy sauce, but it's more salty though, so use less

[@JoyJonas]

Although fish sauce has a unique flavor profile and there is no substitute, you can add a touch of tamarind paste and a little soy sauce. The Spruce Eats says that 'tamarind has a "complex flavor profile," especially when it's concentrated. It's sweet but sour, citrus-y but peppered with notes of "smoke and caramel." so it will add more complexity and mystery than soy sauce alone.
