Ingredients:
Julienne or grate 2 cups of the green papaya
1 1/2 Tbs fish sauce (or to taste)
1 Tbs of brown sugar
1 serrano chilies finely diced
1 red sweet chili finely diced
juice if one large lime
1 clove of garlic grated
chopped roasted peanuts

Optional Ingredients:
handful of grape or cherry tomatoes diced
small handful of Thai basil leaves torn
sunflower seeds roasted and salted (see note)
handful of bean sprouts
Green onion/scallions thinly julienned
First peel the outside of the green papaya well with a vegetable peeler. Then scrape out the pearl colored seeds. Rinse the papaya and then use either a grater to create long thin slices or julienne peeler.
Toss all ingredients together in a bowl (except for the nuts or sunflower seeds). Allow to chill for about 20 minutes in the fridge. Serve with nuts or sunflower seeds.
Note: the chopped peanuts are traditional in this dish. I substituted sunflower seeds for the added crunch and "peanut" taste. It worked very well.
I haven’t had this for a long time! Thank you for sharing this recipe. It looks great.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, that looks amazing!! The presentation is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a tasty dish. One of my coworkers used a vegetable peeler to cut the papaya into strips it worked very well
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favorite Thai dishes. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI've heard of green papaya, but never had it. What a beautiful dish!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous dish, lovely presentation.
ReplyDeleteOOOOHHHH, this is one of my all time favorites. I spent 5 1/2 years in Thailand when I was a teenager, and I simply love this! The sad thing is that I can't get green papaya's here.
ReplyDeleteI wish I knew where to find a green papaya. Are they just under-ripe regular papayas or a different kind??
