Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 green papaya 4 cups shredded
  • 6 green beans Asian variety
  • 8 cherry tomato cut in half
  • 3 bird's eye chili or red Fresno chile
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1/2 cup peanuts divided, roasted
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar or palm sugar
  • 1/4 cup lime juice fresh
  • 1/4 cup fish sauce
  • 1 tsp tamarind concentrate
  • 1/3 cup dried shrimp
  • 1/2 cup basil leaves or micro cilantro greens, Thai variety

Instructions

  1. Peel the dark green skin off using a standard vegetable peeler (the skin is quite soft), then cut in half and remove the seeds using a spoon. Now finely shred using a mandoline shredder. Transfer to a bowl and soak in ice water for 10-15 minutes until they are firmer.
  2. Trim the ends off the green beans and cut into 2-inch pieces. Cut the tomatoes in half.
  3. Using a mortar crush the red chile and garlic to a paste with the pestle. Alternately, you can dice the red chile fine and mince the garlic if preferred.
  4. Add the green beans, tomatoes, half the peanuts and crush slightly to bruise using pestle (or wooden spoon) in mortar.
  5. Add the brown sugar or palm sugar, lime juice, fish sauce, tamarind juice and dried shrimp to mortar or bowl and mix thoroughly.
  6. Drain the soaked papaya well and place in a bowl lined with paper towels to absorb excess water. Transfer to serving bowl.
  7. Pour sauce mixture over shredded papaya, tossing to coat and mix thoroughly. Chill if preferred or serve immediately with slices of lime and garnish with remaining peanuts and chopped Thai basil or micro cilantro on top.
