When it comes to Thai papaya salad, girls can't resist it. With just one green papaya, you can make it at home again and again. No need to worry if you don't know how to make it. We'll show you how to easily make Thai papaya salad at home.
To make Thai papaya salad, you'll need a good spicy mix of chilies.
Peel one green papaya. Use a knife to shred the papaya into thin strips. Then scrape off the shredded part with a knife. This will create small, thin strips.
Once you have about a bowlful, soak the papaya strips in ice water for about 10 minutes to make them crisp.
For the ingredients, prepare: palm sugar (cleaned) - 1½ tablespoons, dried shrimp - 1 heaping tablespoon, small cherry tomatoes cut in half - 1 small cup, long beans - 2 pieces, fish sauce - 1½ tablespoons, tamarind juice - 2 teaspoons, lime juice - 2 tablespoons, large garlic cloves - 2 cloves, long green chilies - 3 pieces, and peanuts.
Drain the soaked papaya well. Put a thick layer of tissue in a bowl and place the papaya on it to absorb any remaining water.
In the mortar, put the garlic and green chilies and pound them. Once finely pounded, add the palm sugar and pound until fine.
Break the long beans into about one-inch pieces and add them to the mortar to pound. Add the dried shrimp and a little of the peanuts and pound them too.
Add the fish sauce, tamarind juice, and lime juice as well. After squeezing the lime, don't throw away the two halves of the lime peel — add them into the mortar too. Then, mix everything in the mortar together well with a spoon.
Once everything is well mixed, add the papaya and cherry tomatoes. Then stir and pound gently with the spoon. This way, everything will blend together and the flavor will spread evenly throughout.
Once everything is well blended and pounded, transfer it to your serving plate and enjoy. And that's it — the recipe for Thai papaya salad is complete!
