Ingredients
A Thai wooden mortar and wooden pounding mallet1 cup of green papaya, sliced into very fine, match-stick sized peices.1 full clove of garlic1-2 hot red chili peppers (optional...Thai like it hot, I like it "mai pet"--not spicy!)About 3 Chinese long beans (just like green beans) sliced in halfAbout 5 sweet cherry tomatoes, sliced in half2 tsp. palm sugar (this is what the Thais use in everything, and apparently it has a lower glycemic index value than cane sugar. If you're worried though, any sugar will do!)1 tbsp fish sauce2 small, fresh limes, cut into wedges. The Thais squeeze them in, and then throw the whole lime into the mortar and serve it that way.1/4 cup roasted peanuts (use as much or as little as desired, based on your fat needs)
Put garlic and chili into a mortar bowl. This is a big, wooden basin. Pound it well with a wooden mallet or spoon.
Add the Chinese long bean (green bean) and pound until broken.
Add tomato and season with palm sugar, fish sauce, and lime juice.
Pound until palm sugar separates.
Add papaya and mix well in the mortar.
Add in the peanuts.
Serve!
*Optional: add in the small, dried shrimp. Try it, you might like it!
Serving Size: The Thais share it as a side dish, but you can eat it as a meal
