With a flat-bladed knife such as a cleaver, chop a series of parallel cuts vertically into the flesh, as finely as possible. This will be easiest to do cradling the fruit in one hand while chopping with the other.\u00a0<br \/>\n2.\u00a0Put the salt, sugar, crab paste, wedges of eggplant and peeled garlic into a mortar and pound until mixed together in a juicy mass (1 \u2013 2 minutes). Add the padek (or fish sauce) and squeeze in the lime juice. Briefly stir together, and then add the slivers of papaya and the tomato wedges. Pound all the ingredients together, turning the mixture in on itself with a spoon at the same time so that everything is thoroughly mixed together. The papaya should be bruised but not pulped, so it releases its taste and can be penetrated with the flavours of the other ingredients.<br \/>\n3.\u00a0Sample the mixture and adjust its flavour with sugar or more lime or fish sauce\/padek.\u00a0<br \/>\n4.\u00a0Serve on a flat plate with a mix of any of the following: sticky rice, lettuce, cabbage or other salad greens, dried beef or pork rinds.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Variations\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>\n\u2022\u00a0This recipe is the basis for many gently pounded salads.

Here is a basic recipe. Use it as a guide, but please don\u2019t be restricted to it. How tam mak hoong is prepared is highly personal. Emphasize the flavours you prefer. Some people like it sweet\/sour with only fish sauce being used. Luang Namtha papaya salad is made with crab paste, a locally made flavouring, which adds a very pungent note. Crab paste may be left out or use shrimp paste, kapi.","pkl_story_authors":"Andy Souvanhphukdee","pkl_story_image":6309,"pkl_story_video":"","pkl_story_image_credits":"Wlink Travel","pkl_story_file":null,"pkl_story_story_types":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/phakhaolao.la\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/story\/6304","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/phakhaolao.la\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/story"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/phakhaolao.la\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/story"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/phakhaolao.la\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6304"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"story-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/phakhaolao.la\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/story-type?post=6304"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
