做法
- 在陶土或木质臼中(深而窄的那种,不是小型酱料臼),用杵将大蒜和辣椒轻轻捣压至刚出汁。要的是汁水,不是泥。
- 加入棕榈糖、鱼露和青柠汁。用杵和勺一起搅拌捣压,直到糖完全溶解,在臼底形成浓稠的酸甜糖浆。
- 加入虾米、花生、豇豆和番茄。轻捣豇豆使其纤维断裂,捣压番茄出汁。不要捣烂。
- 分两次加入木瓜丝。一手轻捣,一手用勺子翻拌——节奏是捣、翻、捣、翻。保持木瓜丝完整。
- 从臼底糖浆中尝味。应先酸,后咸,再甜,辣味逐渐升起。可以加青柠汁、鱼露或棕榈糖调整。
- 高高堆在盘中,把臼底每一滴糖浆刮上去,立即配糯米饭和生卷心菜上桌。木瓜沙拉一小时内会失去风味。

文化背景
泰式凉拌木瓜有几十种地方变体——som tam pu(加生腌螃蟹)、som tam pla ra(加发酵鱼,伊善原版)、som tam korat、som tam sua。曼谷及海外卖的泰式版本最温和:更多花生、更多糖、不放发酵鱼。点单时说'phet noi'要少辣,'phet mak'就准备汗流浃背。臼杵的节奏,是泰国市集的背景音乐。
