"This version of papaya salad comes with a selection of accoutrements; at Lacha Somtum that includes sour Isaan sausage, pork rinds, garlic vermicelli noodles, pickled mustard greens, boiled eggs, fresh cabbage and bean sprouts, fish cakes, and fermented sausage known as naem. At the center is the star of the show, the papaya salad itself. My favorite version at Lacha Somtum is the one with fermented fish sauce and pickled crab - it's deeply savory and funky with plenty of heat."
