Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup lime juice
1/4 cup fish sauce
4 teaspoons palm sugar
2 Thai chiles, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, grated
One 3-ounce package dried shrimp
Kosher salt
4 Chinese long beans, cut into 2-inch pieces
One 1 1/2- to 2-pound green (unripe) papaya, peeled and seeded
1 cup shredded carrots
1/2 cup roasted peanuts, chopped, plus more for garnish
6 cherry tomatoes, quartered

Steps:

  • Add the lime juice, fish sauce, palm sugar, chiles and garlic to a small bowl and whisk to combine. Add the dried shrimp and set aside for at least 15 minutes.

  • Julienne the papaya with a mandoline and put in a large bowl. Add the carrots, peanuts, tomatoes, scallions and long beans and toss to combine.
