Som Tam Green Papaya Salad
Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup peanuts
  • 2 Thai chiles, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 tablespoon dried shrimp
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 2 medium limes, juiced
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 1 medium papaya - peeled, seeded, and sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup fresh green beans, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/2 medium carrot, peeled and shredded
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Firstly, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (or 175 degrees Celsius). Next, place the peanuts on a baking sheet in the oven.
2
Allow the peanuts to toast in the preheated oven for 7 to 8 minutes, or until they are nicely fragrant and have a browned hue. Remove the peanuts from the oven and let them cool down for 5 minutes.
3
In a mortar or food processor, grind the roasted peanuts along with Thai chilies, garlic, dried shrimp, and sugar until you get a smooth paste.
4
Mix in some lime juice and fish sauce to create the dressing for your salad.
5
Toss together papaya, tomatoes, green beans, and carrot with the dressing. Finally, season your salad with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
