📖 The Story Behind This Dish

A creative dish making somtam, the green papaya salad of northeastern Thailand, with carrots available year-round in Japan. It's dressed in a sauce of fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, and chili with crushed peanuts for crunch. The carrots' sweetness pairs well with the dressing. Ingredients are kept to a minimum so it can be made with things you're likely to have at home.

🌆 Where it's eaten: On a hot evening, orange shredded carrots are tossed in a sweet-tart dressing in a bowl and scattered with crushed peanuts.
