Green papaya salad (Burmese: သင်္ဘောသီးသုပ်, Khmer: បុកល្ហុង, Lao: ຕຳຫມາກຫຸ່ງ/ຕໍາສົ້ມ, Rakhine: ပဒကာသီးသုပ်, Thai: ส้มตำ, and Vietnamese: gỏi đu đủ) is a spicy salad made from shredded unripe papaya. It is generally believed to have been created by the Lao people[1][2][3][4] and is considered one of the national dishes of Laos.[5][6][7] Green papaya salad is also popular in neighbouring Thailand's Isan region, whose population is mainly composed of ethnic Lao and from where it spread to the rest of Thailand.[8][9][10][11][12][13] Green papaya salad has also spread to the rest of the continental Southeast Asia (Cambodia, Myanmar,[14] and Vietnam[15]), as well as Xishuangbanna (China).
