Hi Every person,
So I really like to eat papaya salad and just lately have learned how to make it. Anybody who is Lao or Hmong know that making great papaya is a talent which takes skills and time to acquire. The best papya salad are produced by aunties and mothers , and no two papaya taste a like. For a even though now I’ve been learning to make papya salad and I feel I’ve lastly got it, well at least folks are willing to eat my papya salad. I know this is not a recipe at all and my diretions maybe quite vague but I hope to encourage you to understand how to make papya and not be afriad of doing it. No one is an expert but practice will make best. So hopefully you will give it a shot! Great Luck!
What you will need to have:
Green papaya
thai chili peppers
limes
shrimp paste
crab paste
frozen crab in dark sauce
garlic
sugar
fish sauce
tomatoes
tamarin sauce for soup
Directions:
Peel the papaya and use a grader to shred the papaya
In a clay pot ( use to churn food)
Add one clove garlic, four thai chili pepers ( depend on how hot you like it) and smashed until fine. Then add about 1 Tbls of shrimp paste, 1 tsp of crab paste and mix with the garlic and pepper. Chop in small slices of tomatoes about 1 handful, add two Tbls of sugar, half a lime squeeze, 1-two Tbls of fish sauce, 1 Tbls of tamarin sauce, 1 Tbls of crab legs in dark sauce. then mix it all together until the papaya turns brown. Add ingredients according to taste.
Your very first attempt might not be the finest but please do maintain on experimenting, it is the only way you will learn how to cook authentic lao food. Any Lao person knows that nobody’s cooking taste the exact same. Have enjoyable and don’t get discourage!
