Read the full recipe for southern Thai gaeng som here: Theres a dish in Thailand called gaeng som (and in English its also sometimes spelled kaeng som, though I think the first letter sounds a bit more like a g then a k. Anyway, if can refer to a number of different styles of sour curry / soup. The central Thai version of gaeng som ) is red in color and has a very sweet and sour flavor. But well be making the recipes for southern Thai style gaeng som, which is not sweet at all, orange and yellow in color, and known for being spicy and full of turmeric. In Bangkok, southern Thai gaeng som is often referred to as gaeng leung (yellow curry, but in southern Thailand they just called it gaeng som. Why is it a curry and not a soup? Although it may look like what we typically call a soup in English, the reason it is technically a curry is because it gets its flavor from a paste instead of just boiling herbs or stock to make an infusion - that would be a soup. This Thai gaeng som recipe is actually quite easy to make, and when Im at home in Thailand, my mother in law makes it for me at least a couple of times a week. I like it so much because its very healthy, has a powerful spicy and sour flavor, and we always have the ingredients for this dish at our house. Be sure to check out the full recipe and more photos over on my Thai food blog at eatingthaifood. com: but also, Ive listed the ingredients youll need for this authentic Thai recipe below. Here are the ingredients you'll need: This is for the soup part of the recipe: 1 fish - 600 grams ) 1. 5 - 2 litres water ) 1 green papaya - 700 grams ) 1 tbsp salt to taste ) 1 tbsp shrimp paste ) 10 - 15 tbsp lime juice - I used about 20 limes in total ) And for the curry paste part of the recipe: 1 head garlic ) 20 grams turmeric (2 - 3 fingers ) 60 grams white bird's eye chilis, in Thai prik kee noo khao - I counted about 100 chilies ) 2 shallots ) After making the curry paste, you then boil it with water, throw in the green papaya, the fish, and then finally season it with salt and lime juice. Make sure you turn off the curry of the soup completely before you add in the lime juice - if you dont the lime juice wont be very sour, and it will turn bitter. Thats all there is to cooking this Thai sour spicy curry ( ) from southern Thailand. If you love sour and if you love spicy dishes, youre going to love this recipe

Great video Mark, the dish looks amazing. I love that you used the whole fish. I do not think restaurants could get away with that here in the states. My partner would love this but has recently developed digestion issues with garlic. She likes the flavor and it was a sad day when she found out. In small amount it is manageable. Do you or anyone else reading this know a good garlic substitute? Thanks again Mark we watch all your videos together.

I was born in Alor Setar Kedah a northern state of Malaysia where I could get almost anything Thai in the wet market, my mom always buy the Gaeng Som paste and coconut shoots by the Thai seller from the Teluk Wanja wet market in Alor Setar, same taste you're having from this dish, my mom cooked it with pompret and it's sourish and spicy, it's making my mouth watery now hahaha i'm gonna just head home and cook Gaeing som now. XD

Mark, you and Ying are so awesome. I have learned a lot more about Thai food from you guys more than what I have known from my actual born and raised Thai experience. Thank you so much. Watching you eating Thai food really makes me feel closer to home and feel like I actually could taste your food when I was actually eating just carrots and wine. Love all your work, how authentic your review is, and your food selections

Hi, There Thank you for sharing such a great recipe with all of us, I am delighted to know how to make this dish by myself. I am an Indonesian man, We have this exact dish here. Is that true that Malays reside in the southern part of Thailand? Malays reside in most South-East Asian countries including Malayasia, Indoensia, Singapore, Brunei and The Phillipines. thanks once again.

mark, my wife was just listening to the video while we were chilling outside. at some point during the video, she said that she wanted that soup. I think your voice works well, too. what I didn't know was that some people consider a papaya before ripening a vegetable. I will run a few batches of turmeric in my way too clean blender to make it look like yours. cheers, chris

Hi Mark. My name is Diana from San Antonio, tx. I began watching your videos a good while back and I gotta say thank you. Before watching I had never known how wonderful and flavorful Thai food is. Thai food has fast become my favorite thing to eat and watching your videos helped me explore my flavorful options. Love watching your videos from all over. Thanks again.

Hi Mark, I've watched most of your video's. You're doing a great job. Until now i've only made one recipe which is the fried rice with shrimps. Khao pad goong. Made it three times and everybody loves it. Yesterday i cought two fish so this recipe is perfect. I'll let you know how it worked out. Cheers and keep up the good work

i did learnt this recipe from auntie in narathiwat, south thai. try add galangal and fingerroot, i'll guarantee it will enhance the taste to another level. instead of salt, normally they use fish sauce. and a little bit palm sugar, not for sweetness, just to balance the salt taste and enhance the flavor of fish meat.

We love watching you cook We're here in Chiang Mai, so the dish might be sour and red like you said, but we're going to give it a try now that we know the name and the ingredients that go into making it. Thanks for breaking it all down for us, makes the dish seems a lot less intimidating Encore
