Prawns and Thai Green Papaya Salad Recipe Ingredients

Method

1. In a large pestle and mortar, add in the garlic and chilli if using. Crush it for a few seconds.
2. Then add in the cherry tomatoes, fish sauce, lime juice, palm sugar and crush them together for 1 minute.
3. Add your shredded papaya and carrot into the pestle and mortar and toss with a pair of tongs or chopsticks. Otherwise, mix together the papaya, carrot in a large bowl and pour the sauce from the pestle and mortar and toss together.
4. Add the cooked prawns and garnish with some roasted peanuts. Ready to serve.

Note: 

I usually use a special Pestle and Mortar which is made from a tall edged terracotta bowl and a massive wooden pestle, perfect for mixing all the flavours together and keeping the sauce and papaya together. However, you can start in a small Pestle and Mortar and transfer. Or you can use a food processor.
