Don't we all love fresh healthy Thai salad that can be easily put up together without compromising on the five fundamental flavours
- spicy, salty, sweet, sour and bitter.? Thai food I fell in love during my solo trip to Bangkok and ever since then, plenty of Thai dishes have been replicated. In fact, always a favourite from those years, just name some of the popular dishes and I sure have shared (Thai spicy carrot soup, tom yam seafood soup, nasi goreng tom yam and Thai style steamed fish). Now, as you take your time to look through the dishes, here I have this Thai papaya salad. Quite a lengthy list of ingredients but making is super duper easy - slice and cut them up, fry the dried prawns and toss together. Super yummi-yummo as a side dish or for nibbling similar to the kerabu mango.
Ingredients
1/2 unripe/semi ripe papaya -remove seeds and skin and cut into thin strips.
1/4 cucumber (optional) - remove seeds and cut into thin strips with the skin on
2 tbsp dried prawns - fried till crispy and crunchy
4 shallots - sliced thinly
1-2 red chilies/bird eye chilies - sliced thinly
1 lemongrass - shredded
1 tbsp roasted white sesame seeds
1/2 tbsp fish sauce
1 tbsp lime juice
3-4 sprigs basil leaves - remove leaves and shred.
1-2 sprigs spring onion - shredded
1-2 sprigs of coriander leaves - shredded
1-2 tsp sugar
Salt to taste
Method
Combine and mix all the ingredients.
Wow, I have never tried this. You have presented it so well.
