Green Papaya Salad | Gordon Ramsay 

This is a very different twist on the traditional Thai papaya salad because Thai ppl don't put tamarind juice, brown sugar,shallot, thai basil, and coriander in the salad. We use lime juice and palm sugar instead. Moreover we don't only mix the salad but we pound it in the mortar to make the favor more intense.

Gordon, you forgot 1 ingredient, and that is cherry tomatoes! I am part Laos and Thai and Papaya salad is like kimchee to us. It is a must that we have it with every dish 😄

“ If your papaya salad looks like coleslaw, you fucked up” - uncle Roger 2023

I'm a thai people I think that look delicious but the original papaya salad look very different and simple than this menu

I'm Thai, but I think this is definitely not the Papaya Salad that I know. But it looks delicious. Thank you for making papaya salad known.

I will never cook any of this I just think these videos are entertaining for whatever reason

I am Thai and I understand that food is art so you can twist in many ways. I am ok for how you make papaya or forgot to put some cherry tomatoes but PLEASE do not put basil in there so this dish is definitely not papaya salad or somtam AT ALL!!

Am a Thai person. We don’t cut the. Garlic and chili cuz it will be crushed in the mortar. U don’t use tamarind cuz it will get sour with the lime and we don’t also use cilantro or Thai basil

Thai people crying about it not being "the real somtam" is what I expected lol I'm Thai myself who loves eating somtam and my mouth is watering washing this video. Food is always adapted and why would you expect a foreign chef to just cook it traditionally? Basil in somtam? Weird af but it looks so good. I love basil so why not put it in somtam next time. Thanks for the idea lol This dish is actually quite far from somtam we've seen but it looks too good. I really want to try it.

Would you guys stop flipping out, sure he may not have made it like TRADITIONAL somtum and papaya salad but he made it in his own way because he was INSPIRED. Get it through your thick skulls that food is also an art and by adding our own unique style to the dish we make something we ourselves can enjoy. For example, some put a lot of lime in their papaya salad, some put a lot of fish sauce, or some like to add flipping bacon bits. For Goodness Sakes People! Can't we just do what we want and no I'm not trying to disgrace anyone who thinks "Oh traditional is better" or "Oh you don't know what you're doing, as someone of Cambodian/Thai/Lao descent I'm offended" because I am Lao and I think that it's great he decided to add his own twist to one of my favorite foods even if it's for the better or worst. If anyone read this comment all the way to the end, think about what I've said the next time you judge someone else's ideas and you also get a huge. Sorry if I offended you in any way, shape, or form.🙇🏻‍♀️🙋🏻😁

I'm Thai, but I've never encountered this kind of food in my country.

I've grown up eating the real Lao and Thai version but I want to try this style of papaya salad. Looks kinda weird though lol

Is it called... SOM TAM!!!!

This feels oddly sexual

thats not som tum, that is one unauthentic fucking bowl of salad

I'm from Thailand and that's no where near how we make this!!!

thats so differnt from what i usually am used to. thought you are supposed to pound the papaya with the sauce that was made

You remember guys we were complaining why camera shot it so close, now they actually show Gordon's face. They listened to us!! I'll get drunk for this ;)

what the actual fuck is he doing? This may be the greatest crime against Thai cuisine.

เพื่งได้เห็น อยากบอกว่า ผิดทุกขั้นตอน ส่วนประกอบก็ผิด อย่าทำเลย คนไทยเห็นแล้ว เททิ้งเท่านั้น เสียชื่อ Papaya Salad ของไทยจริงๆ

1:09 Fish sauce "slightly salty"??? Fish sauce has enough sodium in it to make my heart doctor pass out if he read the dietary label 😁

im still waiting for the "I AM VIETNAMESE AND THIS IS WRONG CAUSE I ATE A DIFFERENT VERSION WHEN I WAS A KID" comment.

As a Thai, this is totally NOT Thai Som Tam at all!! We don't chop garlic or chili at all. We don't put coriander, shallots or basil in our Som Tam. We toss the whole peanuts. We don't make the dried shrimp like powder. We use palm sugar, we hardly ever use brown granulated sugar, and we don't put sugar to soften the chili's. We put the ingredients into the mortar and use the pestle to mix everything. There are lots of wrong things in Som Tam. Now I feel like Italian people seeing some pineapple in their pizza.

This is a "Gordon Ramsy's Papaya salad" not Thai papaya salad. That's why the ingredients are not exactly the same as Somtum. tbh his papaya salad looks delicious and authentic. I can imagine aroma of those herb and the taste of sweet, sour spicy, and salty all in one dish. I'm from Thailand, even we don't put basil and coriander in Somtum but we eat it as a side dish.

Haiyaaa Gordon Ramsay can't get Uncle title again!

I had this in Thailand, so good I tried eating the whole bowl. But the restaurant failed to tell me the bottom of the salad was lined with bird's eye chilli's. It was so spicy my eyes welled up and I started crying lol. Was still good =)

Ramsay's interpretation on "Som Tum", a traditional dish of north eastern part of Thailand. I really like how he always have his own interpretations on every dish. As a Thai, I'm quite sure this dish will taste amazing. I will try making this version sometime.

Omg .. Dear chef Gordon.. Dried shimps don't need more salt. It's normally very salty as its taste so far.

While papaya salad is popular in Thailand it originated in Laos. That said, it isn't made that way in either country.

A VIDEO WITHOUT ONLY HANDS PARTYYYYYY

Came here after Uncle Roger reacted to this.

He killed my Thai soul 😂😂

Guys, I'm Thai too and Somtam is one of my favorite Thai food. This isn't somtam, this is inspired by it.

Please Chef Ramsay, I am one of your Fan since Hell Kitchen. There are so many versions of the Papaya Salad allover the world, and you may call this one Ramsay Papaya Salad but pleassssssee do not call it "Thai Papaya Salad" because you might confuse and misunderstood your audiences about this dish. Whoever provided you the recipe just got your leg pulled.

I'm Laotian and my mom is super serious about shredding papaya up w/ a k I've & only a knife. I've seen ppl cut it up differently but I think my mom is super proud or just stuck in her ways or both

It's like 50% of "Som-Tum", but actually, it's not "Som-Tum". It's Gordon"s papaya salad, LoL. Tamarind, Coriander, Banana and Basil aren't ingredient of "Som-Tum", but Long bean and Little Tomato are must have. Moreover, we don't make paste for "Som-Tum", we just put everything into mortar and crush them, let's their juice mixed together, paste like that look similar to "Miang-Kum" source instead. P.S. didn't mean your salad isn't good, it's look yummy either, but many ingredients will make this dish taste and smell shift miles away from "Som-Tum".

I'm here after watching uncle Roger video 😆😆😆

Thai basil and coriander...wait What!!!!

People, he didn't say Thai papaya salad. He just said green papaya salad. He's making his own recipe. It's okay to create your own recipe and share them. I'm actually happy that our famous Thai dish inspired many chefs including Gordon Ramsay. Sincerely, a Thai person.

In fact we not slice chillies we just crack it,crack is more spicy and gave more taste but if you don't like spicy slice is good choice 555

as a Thai, this is not how we cook Som Tam but the way he cook it is really interesting. it's really really look delicious.

Gordon i must say this is probably the best one ive seen on this channel so far. You talk in whole sentences, not in single words - makes me feel like you dont think im an idiot. And the zoom has got slightly better, but the cameraman still needs to use less of it.. I guess its ok if you watch it on an iPad, but on my 27" i almost feel nauseated. So good one :)

Love it! It's like partly Som Tam partly Pad Thai partly western salad. Gotta say Gordon Ramsay nailed the ingredients and flavours. Those are everything Thai and I appreciate his accuracy.

It’s funny reading the comments from 6years till now arguing about this recipe. Anyway you can add any vegetables you like in the papaya salad as optional. No offense to eat what you like. You can’t judge it’s right or wrong just because you’ve never seen or eaten like that before. Disclaimer: Gordon’s version was not far away from the authentic one in term of ingredients. For the mixing method I think he tried to make it easy for westerner to understand making it. We eat differently from each other, house to house, region to region. For example some like to have peanut in this papaya salad but some don’t like.

This salad is exactly inspired from his asian twist as his footnote, but not based on real 'Tum Thai'. His style is likely to put more aromatic herb like basil into the dish and gently mix every thing together by hand. From those amounts of papaya he puts, the dish probably tastes light and fresh. On the contrary, the traditional 'Tum Thai' is more intense because it is sour from lime, tamarind sauce and also cherry tomatoes, spicier from a bit more chilli, nuttier from roasted peanut without any smell of basil and more importantly every thing is pounded in a mortar which makes all flavours come out.

I love me some Sohm Tam (papaya salad)! Every time I think of it, my mouth literally waters at this smelly dish! In the version my family makes, we put pickled crabs (the small crabs found in the rice fields) with its juice in. We don't put herbs in Sohm Tam originally, however, your dish looks amazing and has the key elements inspired by the Thai dish; great job!

May I suggest using fresh shrimps in addition to dried ones. We do that in Vietnam and it works great.

"Som Tom" translates to "Sour Pound," it's sour and the technique of pounding in the morter produces all the juice and flavor. You didn't put enough sour OR pound.

as a Chinese who grew up in Bangkok. This is NOT an easy dish to make. Chefs all over Asia does this dish but only those grandmas who have been cooking all their lives can get it right. The paste is hard to come by , too.

My version, Papya, green mango, cucumber, Thai chilly, Thai dried chilly, peanut butter, Fish sauce, lime, tamarind juice, garlic, green string bean, kapoon, of course baby dried shrimp., Cabbage on the side.

Tip: Kohlrabi works perfect as a papaya subsititute!

As a Vietnamese, I do appreciate the addition of banana shallot and carrots to the papaya salad. Vietnamese version use only green papaya, beef jerky, Thai basil, peanuts, and sweet tamarind sauce. Sometimes, I get tired of eating just only green papayas, I feel that it's lacking something. I like this idea! I'll definitely try it. Btw, I have yet to try Thai and Lao version of papaya salad. I hope to get my hands on it someday. :)

This is a different twist to the papaya salad. Very interesting! I'll have to try it this way once.

Cuisine is an art. I do the same when I copy a recipe on RU-vid, and I customize it to my taste. Guess what, I watched 3 different videos, and my best pick is Gordon's

you didn't use the "F...." word even once.

"Maybe good for you...but not for me"

Thank you for sharing the recipe. I'm Thai but I wanna try this dish.

1:05 if you think thai fish sauce smells "pickley" you might need your sinuses checked gordon. Fish sauce is fermented fish extract with a pungently funky, meaty, umami taste. It doesn't have the acidity of anything pickled Reply

Haiyaaaaaa This papaya salad somehow gives me same vibe as British breakfast on pizza. Not past my vibe check. This is somehow cursed food.

Every Gordon Ramsay recipe ever: Now I'm gonna make something that's so ridiculously simple, a 4 year old could make it in under 3 minutes. First, get ya pan on. Splash of olive oil. Add 3 filleted moon herrings. Sprinkle that with some salt and pepper. 5 minutes later.... next, add just a little bit of sugar (*pours in 5kg of sugar) and a little bit of butter (*dump truck drops giant slab of butter, crushing Gordon's house). Cooked in under 3 minutes, spoon filleted moon herrings with Spanish truffle, lemon squeezy bananas, spaghetti, and apple fritta sauce topped with garlic basel Cornflakes, done.

Gordon Ramsey needs to make the Laos version :) Y'all aren't ready!

Oh man! Ur own mother papaya salad. Nothing beats it.

i can't cook gourmet food , i admire gordon so much

I'm a Thai person, sometimes I can just put a few chilli peppers, actually in Thailand it's about 2-3 seeds, the taste matches well. And another thing, why do you add so much sugar? When it's done, it's not like Thai papaya salad at all. very lacking

Why do the commenters care about it not being the “right” way to make Green papaya salad? He never claimed he was making it in a traditional manner.

Thai food has 6 regions according to each area, namely, Northern Thai food, Northeastern Thai food, Eastern Thai food, Western Thai food, Southern Thai food

There are four types of Thai papaya salad, Central Thai papaya salad, Northeastern Thai papaya salad, Northern Thai papaya salad, Southern Thai papaya salad,if you order Thai papaya salad in Thailand, you will get Central Thai papaya salad with tamarind juice and sea crab.

I love papaya salad! Especially the Laotian style, I'm glad you can recreated something into your own! Good job Boss!

ITS RAWWWWW *Throws salad*

congrats on little over One million subscribers.

In Thailand, they call it, som tam,, it's the most popular Thai dish for the Thais ,, it look different when they make it

"INSPIRED" he is doing his own interpretation of Thai cooking. will you all stop complaining he never claimed this was true thai cooking its inspired.

Almost expected him to say, "And that is your green papaya salad, SORTED!"😂

I thought papaya salad is supposed to be mixed inside the mortar ????

EVERY SINGLE PAPAYA SALAD HAVE MORE​ THAN 5 CHILLI AND NOT EVEN HAVE ANY BASIL LOL

seriously ramsey as a thai people im so disappoint XD

Every time he's making something there's always some "genius" who will say "I am from ______, this is wrong" First, just because you are from a certain place doesn't mean you are definitely better in cooking local food. Second, Gordon never said he is cooking it the way it is cooked in your country. It is a dish inspired by your country's cooking, Gordon's style. Yeah we know you are proud that your country's dish is featured in the video but this is getting annoying. try getting 16 michelin stars first, then you can teach him how to cook.

How can this have 45 views when I clicked it the second it was uploaded??!!

Come back it here in Thailand again Gordon.. and stay a little longer… there are so many many things for talented chef like you to learn more. Don’t talk or ask too much to the best chef or famous one.. talk to civilian also.. you’ll see!

Could you make a meal prep video??? That would be awesome!

Uncle Gordon, I will report this to uncle Roger 😏😏😏😏

Is this coleslaw ? Definitely not Thai papaya salad? It's Gordon Ramsay papaya salad.

i think you should break the chili and garlic along with those small shrimps (sorry i don't know how to spell them).......that will help bring out the flavor better.

I love green papaya salad with extra lime and peas and peanuts

Gordon, do not let Thai people see your “Thai” papaya salad.

"... And guaranteed not to go limp..." Omfg lol

I like the idea of this fusion green papaya salad however if you use palm sugar instead of white sugar it would give you a smoother flavor. Also, good fish sauce is very important I found that the one you used it give only salty taste but there is not much of different flavor.

I think this is very interesting way of cooking Green Papaya Salad. Our traditional recipe can be way too strong for those who are not used to the test of spicy food and scent from pickle fish, so I think this is really good alternative. However, if you like it and want to try something with more kick, you should try the traditional one. ; )

"it won't go limp." That's what she said.

My mom adds like 5-9 chillis and it’s soo spiccyyyy. And you should add shrimp 🦐 it’s fits with the flavor and balances the spice

If u not have papaya u can use carrot and green apple

I've seen and made this with Cilantro, works very well on a Thai sandwich.

any of you knows this is not the food named "Papaya Salad". Are you sure you can eat it. so strong smell. he mixes everything as what he wants. no recipe. Thai Pataya Salad is a good food that make you fresh.

ITS INSPIRED VERSION NOT ORIGINAL IF YOU WANNA SEE ORIGINAL GO WATCH A THAI OR LAOS GUY COOK IT

I’m Cambodian and we typically have ours to be pretty spicy, but that’s just my preference

For a second when he said "Deeeez" I seriously thought he was gonna say Deeez Nutz

แค่เห็นว่าไม่ได้ตำ ก็ขำกลิ้งแล้ว แถมน้ำตาลเยอะขนาดนี้ทำไมไม่ไปกินส้มตำชุบน้ำตาล🤣🤣🤣😅

Like I commented before, I love how chef Gordon infuses southeast Asian cuisine into his life. He definitely loves that pestle and mortar. Lol to make a awesome chili paste Gordon, combine those birds eye chilies, green onions, garlic, salt, cilantro, fish sauce and a little bit of sugar. Trust me Gordon you will love it.

I'm Thai and let me tell you that the menu in this clip is completely different from Som Tam Thai. It makes me wonder if the other dishes you make are correct or not.
