Pomelo Salad (Yum Som-O) ยำส้มโอ

Hot Thai Kitchen recipe - Pan-Asian/Thai

Ingredients

1 tbsp palm sugar (see note)
11/2 tbsp lime juice (see note)
2 tsp fish sauce
Thai chilies, to taste
2 cup Pomelo, torn into chunks (see how to peel a pomelo in the video)
3 tbsp shredded coconut, dark toasted
2 tbsp roasted peanuts, coarsely ground
2 tbsp dried shrimp, blitzed in a blender or coffee grinder until fluffy
3 tbsp shallots, thinly sliced
2 kaffir lime leaves, very finely julienned
2 inches lemongrass, bottom half only, very thinly sliced
1/4 cup mint leaves
1/4 cup cilantro leaves (optional)
Wild betel leaves for serving (optional)
Option: If you want to make the salad a bit more substantial, some people top the salad with some cooked shrimp as well.

1
In a mortar and pestle, grind the chilies into a paste, then add palm sugar and pound until dissolved. Add fish sauce and lime juice and swirl to mix.
2
Pour the dressing into a mixing bowl, then add all other ingredients and toss to combine. That's it! You can serve it as is or serve some wild betel leaves (chaploo leaves) along side it which you can use to make little bit-sized wrap of the salad.
