How Do You Make Laos Green Papaya Salad?
If you ordered Green Papaya Salad in Laos or Thailand your choice would be prepared with native papaya that is picked and eaten green. Papaya is a large sized fruit (like the size of a football) that is picked and eaten green because that is when its skin is tart and crunchy. I hope you try and enjoy my Laos Green Papaya Salad. Peel and remove seeds from one pound of green papaya and shred into three cups. (Note: carrots may be substituted for green papaya.) Finely chop 1 dried hot red chili pepper. Using a mortar and pestle crush 1 clove of garlic. Place into a bowl the chili peppers and garlic. Stir into the bowl: 1.5 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lime juice and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Add 1 small chopped tomato and 3 cups green papaya. Top with one lime cut into wedges and add a sprinkling of chopped fresh cilantro.
