I ate a lot of papaya salad on a recent trip to Thailand and it's been my wish to make it at home member Leggy Peggy arrived to stay a few days ago and brought with her a green papaya for me to make this. My son bought me the little Thai cooking book in Thailand on our holiday that this came from. Ingredients:
10 green chilies |
5 garlic cloves |
1/3 cup dried shrimp |
1 1/2 tablespoons palm sugar |
2 cups shredded papayas |
1/2 cup shredded carrot |
1/2 cup string bean, cut into 1 inch pieces |
1/4 cup peanuts |
1 tomato, cut into thin wedges |
3 tablespoons lime juice |
2 tablespoons fish sauce |
Directions:
1. Using a mortar and pestle, crush the chili and garlic. Add the dried shrimps, continue crushing. Add the sugar and continue to pound. Add the remaining ingredients and pound lightly, mix well. Taste and adjust the seasoning-you are looking for a balance between sweet, spicy, salty and sour.
