Ingredients
- 1 Small Green Papaya, peeled and shredded (about 2 cups)
- 1 Medium Carrot, shredded
- 2 Garlic cloves, chopped
- 2 Fresh Green Chilies, finely chopped
- 6~8 Long beans, cut into bite size pieces
- 1 Medium Tomato, chopped (I used halved grape tomatoes)
- ¼ cup Roasted Peanuts, chopped
- 2 tbsp Fresh Lime juice, or more to taste
- 2 tbsp Light Soy sauce, or more to taste
- 1 tbsp Palm sugar, finely chopped or melted, add more for taste
- 2 cups Cabbage/ Lettuce, cut into bite size pieces
Instructions
- Select a firm green papaya and shred into thin matchsticks using a shredder or mandolin. Peel and shred the carrot.
- In a clay mortar and pestle or a large steel bowl, crush the garlic first. Add and crush the chilies, then add the long beans and continue crushing until well mixed.
- Add papaya and carrot. Lightly pound with the pestle while simultaneously using a large spoon to toss the mixture. Continue pounding and tossing until well combined.
- Add tomatoes, peanuts, lime juice, soy sauce and sugar. Continue pounding and tossing to mix well and evenly distribute the flavors.
- Taste and adjust the flavor with more soy sauce, lime juice and sugar to taste.
- Serve with the cabbage or lettuce on the side.
