I’ve been looking online for a recipe of yam sam o and getting these weird recipes and proportion. I was reading your latest post on the side and wondered if you’ve made some. I’m sure glad i checked so I can use the proportions you gave instead! I’m making one tomorrow but will add some peanuts and dried shrimps (tried it at a restaurant and fell in love). Thanks for the recipe!

abby try about a tablespoon of patis, two tablespoons of lime, chopped chili to taste, a couple of teaspoons of brown sugar. Coriander is wansoy locally in markets, it is commonly available. Good luck. Adjust dressing as needed and don’t OVERDRESS the salad, as the dressing is rather potent. Restaurants serve this with lots of greens, etc. but I like it pure… or maybe with some cucumber and tomatoes.

There’s a restaurant in Malate that serves this. I cant remember it now, but is is close to Firma. It’s Thai. The chef there is a Brit. It has since closed and now moving to GB Makati. This is a yummy yummy salad. At The Farm at the Grove, they serve a citrus salad too using oranges and tangerines and graprefruit. The chef also adds tiger shrimp and blue cheese. Also yummy.
