I see Mark is using the awesome Kiwi knife (made in Thailand, not NZ, btw...). I've been using these for about 20 years. When I worked in kitchens I used to bring my own as I found the Kiwi superior as a general utility knife to big-name brands costing many times as much.
Thanks for the video. My mexican coworker loves som tam but does not know how to make it. I emailed this video to her today and I also stopped by the asian supermarket to buy her a green papaya. Hopefully she will learn how to make it for herself and her philippino husband who had never liked Lao style papaya salad until oneday I made Thai style for him to try. Now he loves it.
Papaya salad is very hard to make taste great if you don't have the skills to mix right amount of spices or ingredients. I know cuz I have tried but always fail to make it taste delicious & I have tasted other vendors mixes too and it is sometimes difficult to find the person that can make great papaya salad. But once you find that person...he/she has you as a customer for life... Love papaya on a hot summer day!
Im from Brazil and I discovered the wonders of Thai food while traveling Europe in 2015. It was a life changing experience. As a matter of fact, my first dinner in Germany was Thai food, and my German friends told me there was this delicious green papaya salad to order at the place. I was skeptical bacause In northern Brazil, where I live, green papaya is used only to make sweet jams. Damn. It was delicious, spicy, refreshing. Today I eat it everytime I have the opportunity to get green papayas
I am watching your videos every night before I go to sleep. Lol. I am going to make this tomorrow with the shredded papaya that I have left from earlier this week. I hope it's as good as yours!
Finally found a perfect SOM TAM recipe, easy to make, at least that is how you you made it look like when you demonstrated...I am surely going to try it...thank you very much indeed..
Yes I did! I have been following Thai recipes cooking for 8-9 years now but have never tried this salad before. And I've been wanting to try this salad for years now and I wasn't disappointed at all. I would love to prepare it at home but green papaya are hard to come by here. It seems you travel a lot. Let me know if you come to Japan let me know
Hello, glad you like to cook Thai food, hope you can find green papaya. We are heading to Tokyo next month for a few weeks. What part of Japan are you from?
Wow ! I must say wow because even me living in Thailand for almost 23 years, I still cant cook it myself. Thanks for another marvelous video Mark ! thumb up !
Mark, I lived in Thailand for 26 years. Now in Canada. Your videos is my way to connect back to the wonderful street side foods of Bangkok. I am an engineer by profession but I share the passion for food the way you do. I cannot forget after a long hard work day, stopping over at some Isan join on Pratunam or Sukhumvit 38 and having some spicy nua nam tok and som tam lao with stick rice and sweating out all the stress of the day! Have you been to the Thai Muslim joints on Rama 9 road, Kai Yang Jeripan? Your video on the lobster in hua hin had me dreaming for days! Man I wanted to take my next flight to Hua Hin and devour those lobsters! I really love the way you do not compromise on the authenticity of the food. Oh next time you ever go to India, make sure you go to New Delhi and try out Kareems Restaurant . There is one joint in Old Delhi in the Mina Bazaar road opposite of the grand mosque called Aslams Chicken! This guy only sells one item, there is no name for it. Its off the hook! Its a buttery (a entire block of butter) chicken roasted tikka mix salad with herbs and spices and vegetable like onions, radish, cilantro. Also make sure to try Haji Nura Nihari on Hindu Rao Road, you never eaten anything like this. It is a Beef Nihari, google it. Out of bounds! The beef is so so so soft and chocolaty and you eat with super fluffy soft nan bread. Truly enjoy your videos man.
Hey Tarique Shakil, thank you so much for watching my videos. Sounds like we share a serious passion together for food. Wow, that chicken in Delhi sounds out of control. Might have to fly there just for that!
Hi Mark! I'm from Malaysia Kuala Lumpur, and I travel to Bangkok every month for the last couple of years. I must say, som tam is my favorite food! I have to eat it everyday when I'm in Bangkok! Anyway, love your videos! Keep up the good work!
I don't happen to make it this way but some of my relatives do make it this way. I usually start with the peppers, salt and garlic then add papaya, sugar, tamarind sauce, crab paste, shrimp paste, lime,peanuts or peanut butter, fish sauce..Damn, I'm salivating just thinking about it.
To make this vegan/vegetarian: replace fish sauce with golden mountain sauce (you need a bit more as it is not as salty) and a dash of thai soy bean paste to give it a bit of funk. Taste as funky as the real fish sauce thingy.
Mark ur the winner I really like ur video n I'm a big fan of urs. I alys feel happy when I watch ur video. U r a v cheerful guy. Thank you v much for letting us get the opportunity to experience ur beautiful n enjoyable video
awesome, I'll be making this.. I think I'll add some powdered dried shrimp in addition to the dried shrimp you put in... you say its optional, but I think it makes it! Thanks for the vid
Cool thank Adrian, yah I agree with you and really like the shrimp too. You can even add whole normal shrimp too - that's good! Let me know how it goes!
Thank you for the recipe! How is the cabbage incorporated into the dish? Also, thank you for wearing an apron! Just works very well when you are showing how to make a recipe. GREAT video!
Hey Mark! I made your recipe for green papaya salad and it was incredibly delicious. I couldn't believe how bright and unified the flavors were. It's an amazing dish. Keep up the great work!
Papaya salad is a very popular dish for a few ethnic groups in SE Asia Everyone makes it slightly different though. Mark's version is a little too light looking. Usually Asians like to use a little more ingredients such as shrimp or crab paste, and make it a little darker looking. It's one of the most delicious food 😊
I'm not discounting his recipe though He really does know what he's doing here. He's correct in saying that you can make this dish to your liking. Bcuz some ppl like to eat it sweet and some sour, and some ppl eat it extremely spicy and some only mild
Another excellent vid Mark. I'm eating more cabbage as I'm trying to loose weight. But eating it raw is a little hard core. I like it blanched slightly or stir fried with very little oil. But I'll try it in a salad combo like that and see. I have to buy a mortar and pestal now to try some of these Thai recipes... lol
Thanks for sharing, there are a few varieties of som tum, salted crab have you try that yet? Would be nice if you can share and prepare those varieties.
WOW! Mark, I'm so impressed the way you demonstrate one of the most popular That appetizer "Somtum". You did much better than some Thai people was born in Thailand....555. As always, I am very much enjoy watching your video, and thank you for an awesome job!
I used honey as palm sugar substitute, it turns out to be also great choice, with appropriate ratio of honey to fish sauce and lime juice , you can still get honey flavor in one bite
Great video, Thanks Mark. My all time fav Thai food. Love trying the variations like salted crab. PS for any Perth AUS people green Papaya can be found at Subi markets.
Thanks for sharing! Tomorow i have a special dinner at home. I will go to the market to see if i can get green papaya. i´m not sure we have it in portugal.
Mark Wiens It went very well. for main course I made meatloaf in the oven wrapped in puff pastry. For desert mango mousse. No!! its not to much food!!! The Portuguese eat and drink a lot.
We used to eat this at all our family parties thanks to my Aunt's best friend. That glass case is adorable, nice to see veggies inside it instead of fried foods. You have the skills Mark. More cooking videos please! 😛
I am happy to find your video's..although it makes me home sick for Thailand, even though I am not from Thailand. I have been watching your vid's. and look forward to visiting many of the places you have recommended when I go back to Bangkok in November. perhaps we can get together. I look forward to new vid,s. keep up the good work. how do I find your blog, facebook?
Som tam is the BEST salad ever!!!!!
Thanks for these I have watched about 100 of your videos in the last week I can't stop!!
Thank you very much Johnathan Griswold, really appreciate it.
+Mark Wiens SAME HERE! I really love your Videos! Thank you!
Now that is a true fan! Awesome Johnathan, thank you for the message

Hey Lisa, very cool, thank you for sharing this recipe for your friend, hope it helps!

Look fantastic Mark! I miss Som Tam, here in Spain it's very difficult to find green papaya. Keep uploading more Thai recipe. Greeting from Spain!!
Thank you for watching!
U can use carrot instead
That's wonderful! I live in Tokyo. The papaya salad was awesome- just how I imagined it.
i gotta say, this was the spiciest thing ive probably had. idk if they put extra spice or what, but it was awesome
Yum... I can eat green papaya salad everyday. I prefer laos version for it's flavorful, but thai is more simple and refreshing.
Im from Brazil and I discovered the wonders of Thai food while traveling Europe in 2015. It was a life changing experience.
As a matter of fact, my first dinner in Germany was Thai food, and my German friends told me there was this delicious green papaya salad to order at the place. I was skeptical bacause

Today I eat it everytime I have the opportunity to get green papayas
Papaya salad is my favorite dish out of the whole world!! I live to eat!
I am watching your videos every night before I go to sleep. Lol. I am going to make this tomorrow with the shredded papaya that I have left from earlier this week. I hope it's as good as yours!
Cool ! You do the original Thai green papaya salad and correct.Fantastic
Finally found a perfect SOM TAM recipe, easy to make, at least that is how you you made it look like when you demonstrated...I am surely going to try it...thank you very much indeed..
Archana Singh Kandpal Great to hear that Archana, glad you liked it, and enjoy!
Omg you look so different here, lol, I'm use to seeing you try food already cooked. This is my first time seeing you prepare anything. Love it!
Yes I did! I have been following Thai recipes cooking for 8-9 years now but have never tried this salad before. And I've been wanting to try this salad for years now and I wasn't disappointed at all. I would love to prepare it at home but green papaya are hard to come by here.
It seems you travel a lot. Let me know if you come to Japan let me know
Hello, glad you like to cook Thai food, hope you can find green papaya. We are heading to Tokyo next month for a few weeks. What part of Japan are you from?
Yummy, this is a killer dish, I remember my daily fix of Som Tam for 3 months
What a great idea to prepare it yourself! That salad looked awesome. Drooling just thinking about the tart, spicy crunchiness of it all.
Wow ! I must say wow because even me living in Thailand for almost 23 years, I still cant cook it myself. Thanks for another marvelous video Mark ! thumb up !
Thank you so much for watching Paul!
I love papaya salad! I like to add the sauce afterward to avoid splashes but I make the Lao version and it tastes just as good
That looked so wonderful... I'm going to love this segment of recipes !!!
Thank you Jesse!
That looks yum !! Need to find ingredients and make one full plate of papaya salad !!
Just heared that last sentence "lots of more delicious food videos"
made my day :)
Cool, thank you!

green papaya salads. Are the best. When mark eats it it's there top of the line.
my mouth is watering
Hi Mark! I'm from Malaysia Kuala Lumpur, and I travel to Bangkok every month for the last couple of years. I must say, som tam is my favorite food! I have to eat it everyday when I'm in Bangkok!
Anyway, love your videos! Keep up the good work!
Haha, great to hear that Wyatt, it's a great thing to eat everyday!
I don't happen to make it this way but some of my relatives do make it this way. I usually start with the peppers, salt and garlic then add papaya, sugar, tamarind sauce, crab paste, shrimp paste, lime,peanuts or peanut butter, fish sauce..Damn, I'm salivating just thinking about it.
This is one of my favorite dish. My dad used shrimp paste. It's so good.
Have you ever tried Laos Papaya Salad, where you add Tamarind sauce, Shrimp Paste, and Crab paste to everything you used? It taste really yummy.
Yes, the Lao papaya salad is so much better. But I think the thai version would suit people that are not into stinky ingredients, lol
To make this vegan/vegetarian: replace fish sauce with golden mountain sauce (you need a bit more as it is not as salty) and a dash of thai soy bean paste to give it a bit of funk. Taste as funky as the real fish sauce thingy.
thank you!!!
Thank you!
Love this salad, always ate this in Thailand. Just have to see if I can get the green papaya in UK.
Thanks for the video, great stuff.

Hey Matthew567byheart thank you very much. Normally a piece of raw cabbage is just places on the side, and you can just eat it in-between bites.
I love thai papaya salad

Another excellent vid Mark. I'm eating more cabbage as I'm trying to loose weight. But eating it raw is a little hard core. I like it blanched slightly or stir fried with very little oil. But I'll try it in a salad combo like that and see. I have to buy a mortar and pestal now to try some of these Thai recipes... lol
Hey Mal, good to hear you're eating more cabbage. I really like the crispy texture of raw cabbage. Yes, a mortar and pestle is a great thing to own!
If you can find mortar ,you can cook many Thai food and your weight will lose. Keep on fighting.
Thanks Nattapaisit. I'm going to find a good one soon. Regards !!
