Thai Green Papaya Salad (known in Thai as Som Tam ส้มตำ) is an extremely popular dish in Thai cuisine. It's fresh, and balances all the flavors of sweet, spicy, salty, and sour, to perfection on a single plate. In Thailand, Som Tam is eaten with Thai sticky rice. You can grab a small ball of sticky rice in your fingers, dip it into the Green Papaya Salad dressing, and then pop it in your mouth :)
