Easy Papaya Salad Recipe & Video

Hi guys!

Recently I’m so so obsessed with this easy papaya salad!!! (I just had for lunch yesterday and made it again for today’s lunch!! lol)

It is so refreshing and satisfying!

Also very light on your tummy!

Doesn’t require to cook to complete this beautiful dish and I don’t even need a main dish when I have my easy papaya salad!

The seasoning for papaya salad is very simple, yet I highly recommend you to get those from your local Asian grocery store. You can also find these ingredients from online! Just click the pictures away to get it! 😉

Also dried shrimp adds great flavor to papaya salad! It’s not the must item, but definitely makes papaya salad amazing!

If you have regular size mortar and pestle, you can definitely use it to make this papaya salad recipe! Just make the dressing in the mortar and toss vegetables in a mixing bowl, that will totally work!

But if you are obsessed with Thai cuisine like me, it might worth to get a this huge Thai/Lao style mortar and pestle! Every time I use these, it makes feel like a pretty bad ass Thai cook! lol

You can find green papaya easily at your local grocery stores. But if you can’t find it where you live, you can use regular cucumber- just peel and seeded, the shred. 😉

Hope you give this delicious and easy papaya salad at home!!

Don’t forget to serve papaya salad with Sticky Rice, they complete each others!

I know you are gonna LOVE it!!

Instructions

1. Add garlic and chili in a mortar (possible Thai style mortar); pound and grind by using a pestle.
   
2. When garlic and chili is nicely pounded, add palm sugar, fish sauce, shrimp paste and dried shrimp. Pound and grind until palm sugar has dissolved. Make sure pounding dried shrimp so we can get as much flavor out from it. Please be careful not to pounding too hard, other wise the spicy dressing might splash on your face or eyes.
   
3. Finally, add lime juice and give it a good mix.
   
4. Now, it’s time for papaya and long beans. Holding pestle on one hand and spoon another hand. Using both of your hands, toss with spoon from bottom of mortar and gently pound with pestle.
   
5. When papaya and long bean’s volume shrink down, then add tomatoes and roasted peanuts. Do “toss and pound” one last time.
   
6. Transfer to a serving plate, garnish with some more peanut if you desire. Serve as a side dish on your dinner table or enjoy as a main meal with sticky rice!
