Tam Som

12 $ • 1 item

Experience the vibrant and bold flavors of this signature Lao pounded salad. Tam Som, often featuring green papaya, combines fresh shredded vegetables with tomatoes, long beans, and a fiery dressing. The ingredients are pounded to release their essences, then tossed with fish sauce, lime, sugar, chili, garlic, and the essential Lao *padaek* (fermented fish sauce), creating a complex symphony of sweet, sour, salty, and spicy tastes.
