This healthy take on the Thai classic makes a light, refreshing meal that’s bursting with flavour. Pomelo is packed with immunity-boosting vitamin C as well as body-balancing potassium, whilst the zing of chili helps fire up your metabolism and reduces inflammation. Yum som-o makes a wonderfully fresh side dish or a light main meal.
