Green papaya salad is a spicy salad made from shredded unripe papaya. It is of Lao origin〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Thailand )〕〔Stokes, Daniel. 2003. Low language in high places: social and political perspectives on grammar in the prose of 'Rong Wongsawan'. Thesis (M.A.)--University of Wisconsin--Madison, 2003. P.38〕〔Burke, Andrew, and Austin Bush. "Eating." Bangkok: city guide. 9th ed. Footscray, Vic.: Lonely Planet, 2010. 157. Print〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About Thai food )〕 but it is also eaten throughout Southeast Asia. Locally known in Cambodia as ''bok l'hong'' ((クメール語:បុកល្ហុង), ), in Laos as ''tam som'' ((ラーオ語:ຕໍາສົ້ມ)) or the more specific name ''tam maak hoong'' ((ラーオ語:ຕໍາໝາກຫຸ່ງ), (:tàm.ma᷆ːk.hūŋ)), in Thailand as ''som tam'' ((タイ語:ส้มตำ), ), and in Vietnam as ''goi du du''. ''Som tam'', the Thai variation, was listed at number 46 on ''World's 50 most delicious foods'' compiled by ''CNN Go'' in 2011.〔CNN Go (World's 50 most delicious foods: place 46 Som tam, Thailand ) 21 July 2011. Retrieved 2011-10-11〕 ==Preparation== The dish combines the five main tastes of the local cuisine: sour lime, hot chili, salty, savory fish sauce, and sweetness added by palm sugar. The ingredients are mixed and pounded in a mortar; The general Lao name ''tam som'' literally means "pounded sour", however, the more specific Lao name ''tam maak hoong'' literally means "pounded papaya". In Khmer, the name ''bok l'hong'' also means "pounded papaya". In Thai, the name ''som tam'', (a reversal of the Lao name), literally translates as "sour pounded". However, other pounded salads in Thailand are consistent with the Lao naming convention in which the word ''tam'' ("pounded") is listed first. Despite the use of papaya, which one may think of as sweet, this salad is actually savory. When not yet ripe, papaya has a slightly tangy flavor. The texture is crisp and firm, sometimes to the point of crunchiness. It is this that allows the fruit to withstand being beaten in the mortar. In Laos, green papaya salad is one of the traditional staples of the Lao. Pounded salads in Laos all fall under the parent category of ''tam som'', which may or may not contain green papaya, however, when no specific type of ''tam som'' is mentioned, it is generally understood to refer to green papaya salad. For absolute clarity, however, the name ''tam maak hoong'' may be used, since this name means "pounded papaya". In Thailand, it is customary that a customer ask the preparer to make the dish suited to his or her tastes. To specifically refer to the original style of papaya salad as prepared in Laos or Isan, it is known as or ''som tam Lao'' or simply as ''tam Lao'', and the dish as prepared in central Thailand may be referred to as ''som tam Thai''. Traditionally the local variety of green papaya salad in the streets of Bangkok is very hot due to the addition of a fistfull of chopped hot Bird's eye chili, however with its rising popularity among tourists, it is often served now not as hot. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Green papaya salad」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
