Instructions
- Begin by peeling the papaya and grating it into thin slices. Cut the limes and tomatoes into bite-sized pieces. Chop the yard long beans into 1-inch sized pieces.
- Pound the chilies and garlic with a mortar and pestle until they are slightly broken down.
- Add the yard long beans and lightly pound them, just enough to release their juice. Don’t break them completely, aim for a fresh crunch, not a mushy texture.
- Add fish sauce, roasted peanuts and palm sugar. Pound and mix the ingredients. If needed, use a spoon to help you, I use a wooden spoon or a plastic rice spoon.
- Squeeze fresh lime juice into the mortar and toss in the lime peels. Then, add the shredded green papaya along with the tomato slices. If you’re using dried mini shrimp, add those too. Pound and stir to ensure all the papaya slices have soaked up the salad dressing. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Use the nutrition card in this recipe as a guideline.
