When I was in Thailand, I realize that green papaya salad is so easy to make that I learned how to make it simple at home. It is one of my favorite dishes and I hope you guys enjoy this simplified version.
For people that are wandering what the difference between green papaya and regular papaya is, there really isn't that much of a difference. All it is is a non-ripe papaya, so it has a crunchy consistency versus a soft one.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup green papaya, peeled and shredded
1/4 cup ground dried shrimp (as much as this is important, for people that don't enjoy that taste you can take it out or use a little bit)
1 dried chili/chili
7 peppercorns or 3 Tbsp of freshly ground pepper
6 cloves of garlic
3 tbsp brown sugar
3 tbsp fish sauce
1 tbsp lime juice
PREPARATION
- Pound the green papaya lightly in a mortar (if you do not have a mortar you can use a bowl) Remove and set aside.
- In another bowl, pound the garlic, dried chili/chili, and pepper thoroughly and transfer into a mixing bowl.
- Mix fish sauce and sugar together and bring to a boil over medium heat. Remove from the heat and cool. Add lime juice and pour into the chili mixture and stir well.
- Add papaya and the dried shrimp into the dressing mixture and toss well.
Bon Apetit!
