Green Papaya Salad

 

Here’s my take on a Thai green papaya salad. This is definitely not authentic, I know. I don’t have the proper ingredients nor do I have a proper giant mortar and pestle. So I had to make do.

Here’s how I made it.

Ingredients:

• 1 Green papaya, rinsed, seeded, peeled, grated
• 5 large cherry tomatoes, sliced
• 7 small dried shrimp, chopped
• 2 red Thai chilies, chopped 
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons fish sauce
• 3 tablespoons peanuts, smashed 

Instructions:

1. Prepare ingredients as listed above (rinse, chop, etc)
2. Toss together well.
3. Serve.
4. Enjoy!

It was okay, but the authentic one is definitely better, spicier and fishier. I love spicy!
