With the chilli and garlic you could be going Nasi Goreng.

The rice in the first image is roasted and subsequently ground.

It has been a while since I did some, perhaps next weekend.

I love green papaya salad too, but you just can't get unripe papaya round here.

No. What made you think of prawns?

The fish sauce.

The fish sauce.

Thais put fish sauce in everything!

If they ate cornflakes I'm sure fish sauce would be added to those also.

Ah, the infamous Som Tam. I am able to eat pretty spicy food but that is a bit much. Do you put the tiny crabs in yours?

The som tam stall.

I had one in Koh Lanta which had small crabs in, not to my taste.

I saw a recipe for Som Tam that used rutabaga in place of the papaya. Maybe that's an option?

We know that as Swede, it would certainly be different. You can do it with unripe mango I believe.

Since my post I have done some Googling and there is an Asian supermarket about 25 miles away who stock unripe papaya, so I think I will call in next time I'm travelling that way.
