Mortar & Pestle - Clay
The clay mortar and pestle also sometimes known as the Laos or Laotian mortar and pestle is commonly used to make Green Papaya Salad (sohm tahm) which is a dish of Issan, or North East Thailand.
This set works best for salad making because of its larger bowl size. The spices are mashed up first with the wooden pestle and then the shredded papaya is added. This is then pounded and tossed to blend the ingredients. If you visit Thailand do not miss the opportunity to eat grilled chicken with this salad all served with sticky rice.
