Stock Photo: Thai Green Papaya Salad With Salted Field Crab (Som Tum Pla Ra)
ID 283497765 © Mammoote | Megapixl.com
The standard green papaya, snake beans, and cherry tomatoes but also some salted crab and acacia seeds together with a pungent dressing based on fermented anchovy sauce (which is a bit like shrimp paste, only stronger). The crabs are small crabs from rice paddy fields and they’re fermented whole in salted water. In Thailand, cooks use the salty preserving brine as a seasoning sauce in their cooking, so nothing gets wasted.
