  • 300 g/10 oz/2 cups finely grated green papaya
  • 1 handful tender green beans
  • 2 tablespoons dried shrimp
  • 2 tablespoons crushed roasted peanuts

Directions

1

Peel papaya and shred the flesh or grate into fine, long strands. Cut beans into short lengths.

In a blender process the dried shrimp to a floss. Combine with the crushed peanuts and set aside.

3

Use a mortar and pestle to pound the garlic, shallots and chillies to a paste.

4

Add fish sauce and sugar, then the beans and pound gently so the beans don't lose their shape.
