Quantities above make four portions. Calorie count is per serving.

Method

  1. Pound garlic and chilies in a mortar until crushed.
  2. Add palm sugar, fish sauce, and lime juice. Muddle to dissolve the sugar.
  3. Add shredded green papaya and pound lightly to bruise and absorb the dressing.
  4. Toss in cherry tomatoes, dried shrimp, and long beans.
  5. Transfer to a plate, top with crushed peanuts, and serve with sticky rice.

Timing

Allow roughly 4 minutes of preparation and 11 minutes of cooking. Read the method through once before you start so nothing waits on a pan you could have had going already.
