Som Tum (Thai Green Papaya Salad)

I used to eat this salad a lot when I was in Thailand, and I always order it at Thai restaurants in Japan. Green papaya salad with peanuts is called "som tam thai," and it's mild and easy to eat. I added richness to the salad using the water from rehydrating the shrimps, and didn't use any artificial seasonings. It is hard to find a green papaya in Japan, but my friend sent me a fresh one, so I posted this recipe. Aroi!

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Soak the dried shrimp in 1 tablespoon of lukewarm water (not listed) to soften. (Don't discard this soaking water!)

* Step 2

Wash the green papaya, peel, deseed, and julienne. Soak in water briefly to remove the bitterness.

* Step 3

Crush the peanuts.

* Step 4

Crush the garlic, add the rehydrated shrimp, and pound. When they are mashed, add the fresh green beans that were cut into 3 cm long pieces, and pound further.

* Step 5

Add the crushed peanuts and red chili pepper, then add the drained papaya. Pound and mix altogether until the papaya is wilted.

* Step 6

Combine the fish sauce, water from rehydrating the dried shrimp, and the lemon (lime) juice. Add to the mortar from Step 5, and lightly pound to let the flavors penetrate into the ingredients.
