📖 The Story Behind This Dish

A creative dish capturing the crunch of the green papaya in Thai somtam with Japanese daikon. The daikon's juiciness and gentle bite go well with the sweet, sour, spicy dressing. It's delicious with daikon alone, no cherry tomatoes or dried shrimp needed. Ingredients are kept to a minimum so it can be made with things you're likely to have at home.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At a winter dinner, leftover daikon is shredded into a refreshing salad fragrant with fish sauce.
