Description
A preparation of pomelo segments separated into individual vesicles (the juice sacs broken apart from their connective membrane), tossed with coconut cream, roasted coconut, dried shrimp, fried shallots, fried garlic, roasted peanuts, fresh chilli, lime juice, fish sauce, and palm sugar. Yam som o is the most texturally complex of the Thai yam salads — the pomelo's individual vesicles burst on the palate with juice, the roasted coconut provides dry crunch, the fried shallot provides a savoury crispness, and the coconut cream provides creaminess without richness. Every element is distinct and separate; nothing softens or merges.
