The ingredients for Som Tam Thai and Roasted Chicken are:

A Thai wooden mortar and wooden pounding mallet
1 cup of green papaya, sliced into very fine, match-stick sized peices.
1 full clove of garlic
1-2 hot red chili peppers (optional...Thai like it hot, I like it "mai pet"--not spicy!)
About 3 Chinese long beans (just like green beans) sliced in half
About 5 sweet cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
2 tsp. palm sugar (this is what the Thais use in everything, and apparently it has a lower glycemic index value than cane sugar. If you're worried though, any sugar will do!)
1 tbsp fish sauce
2 small, fresh limes, cut into wedges. The Thais squeeze them in, and then throw the whole lime into the mortar and serve it that way.
1/4 cup roasted peanuts (use as much or as little as desired, based on your fat needs)
