Som Tam Thai, also known as Thai green papaya salad, is a refreshing and flavorful dish that combines the five main tastes of Thai cuisine: sour, sweet, salty, bitter, and spicy. Here's a basic recipe for Som Tam Thai:

Ingredients:

1 green papaya, peeled, seeded, and shredded
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
2-3 Thai bird chilies, finely chopped (adjust according to your spice preference)
2 tablespoons dried shrimp, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons roasted peanuts, coarsely chopped
1-2 tomatoes, cut into thin strips
1-2 handfuls of green beans, cut into 2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons fish sauce
2 tablespoons tamarind juice
1-2 tablespoons palm sugar or brown sugar (adjust to taste)
Lime wedges for serving
Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions:

Prepare the Papaya:

Peel, seed, and shred the green papaya using a grater or a julienne peeler. Place the shredded papaya in a large mixing bowl.
Make the Dressing:

In a small bowl, mix together minced garlic, chopped bird chilies, fish sauce, tamarind juice, and palm sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
Assemble the Salad:

Add the green beans, tomatoes, dried shrimp, and roasted peanuts to the shredded papaya.
Dress the Salad:

Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients. Toss everything together gently, making sure the dressing is evenly distributed.
Adjust Seasonings:

Taste the salad and adjust the flavors according to your preference. You can add more fish sauce for saltiness, more sugar for sweetness, or more chilies for spice.
Serve:

Plate the salad and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
Enjoy:

Som Tam Thai is best enjoyed fresh. Serve it as a side dish or with sticky rice for a complete meal.
Note: Adjust the spiciness level by adding or reducing the amount of Thai bird chilies. If you cannot find green papaya, you can use green mango as a substitute. Additionally, feel free to customize the ingredients based on your preferences.
