I can't take credit for this, because JW was kind enough to bring his entire green papaya ensemble to my house yesterday to assembly this work of art. Shredded green papaya + fish sauce + jalapeno + dried shrimp = brilliance invented by Thai people. I made BBQ chicken & tomato salad; JW made sticky rice in the microwave.
The completed dish, above.
And because it's summer.... heirloom tomatoes. Mmm.
geez...looks delicious! more posts guys!
ReplyDeletehaha...papaya salad actually began as a vietnamese dish...but uses carrots instead of papaya and is much sweeter...the thai people took the idea and made some changes which resulted in papaya salad which has become popular with the "foreigners"...
