In reply to Nicole Werner. You can use any vegetables that you like to eat raw, so I guess zucchini would be okay? I wouldn't pound zucchini too much so I'd add it at the same time as cucumber.

Since I ate the Thai chicken soup Tom Ka Guy I fell in love with the Thai kitchen.
This salad seems to be a great success.

hi!
can zucchini be used? if so, would I add in the same way as the beans?

I like this salad! Clear recipe and video. I had two ears of corn so I doubled the recipe - knowing the two of us would have more salad to enjoy tomorrow. Substituted chicken eggs for the salted duck eggs and blanched green beans for the long beans - otherwise, followed your recipe as written. I served this with your Hat Yai style fried chicken and sticky rice. All three recipes are in my favorites file now - especially this salad, now than sweet corn is in season. Thank you.

Big fan of your channel and website—good reference. We live in the Philippines and we try to get to Thailand every once in awhile. Looking forward to making this for a group of eight—coupled with coconut rice, baked cashews, ‘naked sheimp’ appetizers, and the ubiquitous ‘kai yang’ chicken. Dessert remains to be determined though!

I love Som Tum, but once for a while I like to twist a little bit, and this is a great variation of the Tum-style Thai salad to try. You can also combine the two and make your own version, like adding corn to a regular Som Tum!

This is way better to make than the papaya version. I prefer the taste also, but this is sooooooooo much easier with less faffing around. If you can't get salted duck eggs just use normal eggs! Make this at home and order the papaya one when out and about!
