PAPAYA SALAD


If you've had papaya salad before, this image will surely make your mouth water. The flavors are intense but so very addicting. Who likes their salad spicy?


INGREDIENTS
1 Cup - Peanuts
1 Whole - Green Papaya
5 Whole - Roma Tomatoes
2 Tsp - MSG
1 Tbsp - Salt
4 Tbsp - Fish Sauce
2 Tsp - Shrimp Paste
2 Tsp - Crab Paste
4 Whole - Thai Pepper
4 Cloves - Garlic
1 Whole - Lime
6-8 Tbsp - Cane Sugar

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Carefully peel off the papaya skin then cut the papaya lengthwise. Take out the seeds.

2. Julienne the papaya. We used a mandolin. 

3. In the mortar, add in the thai pepper, garlic, shrimp paste, and crab paste, then pound together. The design of the clay mortar requires you to just pound and occasionally stir the contents with a spoon—no need to twist/grind the ingredients.

4. When those ingredients are well combined and the pepper is pounded to desired size, add the peanuts and the sugar and pound again until the sugar is mixed in well.

5. Add the tamarind sauce, tomatoes (chopped), juice of a lime, and fish sauce. Lightly pound so the ingredients are mixed but the tomato still retains its shape/texture.

6. Mis in the julienned papaya and also lightly pound until the papaya is well coated.

7. Serve immediately.
