Tips : My food has no rules. If you don’t like something, you don’t have to add them! If you do not have a set of mortar and pestle, mix the ingredients in a mixing bowl and serve. Use crushed almonds or cashew nuts instead of peanuts in case of peanut allergy. Som tum is usually served with barbecue chicken and steamed white glutinous rice.
Cook from the Heart! Cook from Love!! It is the best food in the world!! Enjoy!!
