How to make Green Papaya Salad
Ingredients :
1)
2
cloves of garlic
2)
5
Thai chilies
3)
1-2
limes
4)
1
big handful of slivered green papaya
5)
1-2
small tomatoes
Sauce :
1)
2
tablespoons of shelled roasted peanuts
2)
1
tablespoon of fish sauce
3)
½-1
tablespoon of palm sugar
4)
1
tablespoon of dried shrimp
Directions :
1)
After
washing the green papaya, peel off the skin using a carrot peeler. You can then
either use a cheese grater to shave the papaya, or you can do it the
traditional way and hack at the papaya with your knife until there are numerous
vertical cuts, then shave off the top layer into thin slivers, and repeat. I like
the traditional method as you get bigger, un-even, pieces of green papaya. Cut
enough green papaya to have a big handful worth for this recipe.
2)
Add
2 cloves of peeled garlic and 5 chilies to the mortar. Pound them for a few
seconds until the garlic is crushed and chilies are reduced to small bits.
3)
Add
½ tablespoon of palm sugar, 1 tablespoon of fish sauce and then squeeze the
juice from 1-2 limes into the mortar.
4)
Mix
and pound the dressing, making sure the palm sugar gets fully dissolved into
the liquid.
5)
Add
about 1 tablespoon of roasted peanuts, 1 tablespoon of dried shrimp and the
roughly slice in the tomatoes into the mortar.
6)
Pound
the mixture for about 30 seconds, lightly breaking up the tomatoes, shrimp and
peanuts. No need to pound too hard.
7)
Last
step is to toss in a big handful of the green papaya shavings. Mix it all
together, doing a combination of using just a spoon and pounding lightly, but
no need to pound hard. Make sure the dressing is coating all the green papaya
and that the salad is evenly mixed through and through.
