In my view Brussels Sprouts Som Tum is the best Brussels Sprouts recipe ever.

It is fresh, crunchy, spicy with sweet and sour notes. Think, light Thai salad flavour slaw. You just have to trust me with this one and have a try.

This recipe is perfect with grilled meat or vegetable, cold meat anything you would normally have with slaws, will work with this recipe.

I used my large Mortar and Pestle (that I only have to make Som Tum) I do understand that this is not widely available so I have made this recipe without using one.

Enjoy
