Papaya salad ( carrot version )

I don't have green papaya so I use carrot instead. It's tasty too. This dish is one of famous dishes for girls in Thailand. Some eat it on their diet because it's light and no matter how much you eat it. It'll never make you fat. It's so simple and quick to make.

                

Papaya salad ( carrot version )    

                        

Serves: 1

Ingredients

                 

1 carrot, shredded

10 cherry tomatoes, cut half

3 chillies or more if desired

1 clove garlic

2 tbsp dried shrimp

1 tbsp fish sauce

1 tbsp sugar

1/2 lime or lemon juice

1 tbsp toasted peanut

and you'll need pestle and mortar. Basically we use the different type of pestle and mortar which is lighter than this one. Pestle is made of wood and mortar is more bigger too so if anybody use the same granite one as mine there is no need to heavily pound, otherwise you might turn salad to some kind of mess.

Method

1. Crush chillies and garlic with pestle and mortar.

2. Put in sugar, fish sauce, lemon juice and toasted peanut. Gently crush the peanut with other ingredients.

 

3. Put shredded carrot, cherry tomato, dried shrimp and gently pound.

4. Serve with lettuce or cabbage.
