Green papaya is the main ingredient in this classic Thai salad. Green papaya doesn't really have much taste and it's mostly used because of its texture. It is easily found in Asian grocery stores. Under no circumstances use ripe papaya with orange flesh and black seeds.

Ingredients

2 cloves garlic, minced
1 shallots, minced 40 g
1 dried chili peppers, minced 0.4 g
3 tbsp limejuice, freshly squeezed 1 1/2 lime
1 tbsp sugar 12 g
1 tbsp soy sauce 15 mL
1 green papaya 500 g
1 carrots, peeled and julienned 100 g
1/3 cup green/snap beans, trimmed and cut into 2-3 cm lengths 35 g
4 mini-tomatoes (cherry, miniature or grape), halved 1/4 cup
2 tbsp peanuts, dry-roasted and chopped 18 g
4 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped 8 g

Method

  1. Combine first six ingredients in a bowl. Add the vegetables and mash with the back of a wooden spoon until the vegetables are softened and everything is well combined. Take care not to over-pound the green papaya or it will lose its crisp texture.
  2. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Transfer salad to a serving plate, garnish with peanuts and herb leaves then serve immediately.
