[thaifoodmaster] Pomelo Salad [yam Sohm Oh] ยำส้มโอ

Here is a dish with a modest name that has been part of Thai culture

for at least couple of hundred years.

Traditionally Thai salads are divided into three main categories

based on the dressing type. The most popular salads are those with

with clear dressings made of lime juice, fish sauce, crashed chilies

and a touch of sugar. Fruit salads, like Pomelo and mango are made

with what is referred to as "black dressing" (Yam Dam) made of palm

sugar, fish sauce, tamarind juice, coconut cream and roasted chili

paste.

In this beautiful and simple dish, The sweet-sour juice exploding

Pomelo pulps are smoothing on the tangy, salty, sweet and hot creamy

dressing and crunching with coat of fried garlic, dry-roasted

peanuts, and grated coconut. If that's not enough the fried dried

shrimp add a savory dimension to each bits of this playful dish.

The salad is meant to be assembled at the last minute, so all of the

flavors stay crisp and clean.
