Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Thai Green Papaya Salad.
Step 1
Start by placing your peeled garlic cloves, vibrant Thai green chiles, and fresh-cut green beans into a sturdy mortar.
Step 2
Grab your pestle and gently pound the ingredients together until they’re slightly crushed, allowing their flavors to mingle.
Step 3
Next, introduce the thinly sliced unripe papaya to the mix.
Step 4
Continue to pound gently, just enough to bruise the papaya and release its refreshing essence.
Step 5
Now, it’s time to add a splash of fish sauce, a squeeze of zesty lime juice, and a sprinkle of palm sugar.
Step 6
Give everything a good pound again, ensuring all the ingredients are beautifully combined.
Step 7
Then, toss in the halved and seeded tomato, and with a light touch, pound it just enough to incorporate it without turning it into mush.
Step 8
To finish off this delightful concoction, stir in the finely chopped dry-roasted peanuts, adding a lovely crunch to your dish.
Step 9
Serve this vibrant mix immediately, and enjoy the burst of flavors that will transport you straight to a bustling Thai market!.
