食材

2 tbsp garlic (, roughly chopped (10 normal or 4 large garlic cloves)

6 bird eye chillies, (, roughly chopped with seeds (use fewer for less spicy, Note 1)

6 tbsp dried shrimp (Note 2)

1 cup palm sugar (, grated using standard box grater, loosely packed (Note 3)

1/2 cup lime juice

1/2 cup fish sauce

1 cup roasted peanuts (, unsalted)

20 snake beans (, cut in 5cm/2" pieces (raw, Note 4)

3 cups grape tomato (, cut in half (~400g / 14oz)

500g / 4 cups green papaya (, shredded, TIGHTLY packed cups (~1 medium, 2/3 large, Note 5)

1/2 cup Thai basil leaves (Note 6)

步驟

Crush peanuts: Place peanuts in a mortar and pestle. Pound lightly to break them up into largish pieces, not into powder. Transfer to bowl.

Garlic and chilli paste: Place garlic and chilli in the mortar. Pound into a paste. Add shrimp and pound to crush them – no need to grind them to a paste.

Dressing: Stir in palm sugar, lime and fish sauce until sugar dissolves. Pour Dressing into a large bowl.

Bruise snake beans: Add snake beans to mortar (in batches if needed). Pound to bruise, split and soften (they are raw, so they need to be bashed to soften). Add to Dressing.

Crush tomato: Grab handfuls of tomato, crush with your hands then add into the bowl.

Add papaya: Add papaya and 3/4 of the peanuts. Toss well with 2 wooden spoons or tongs.

Serve immediately (Note 7): Once everything is coated in Dressing, immediately pile up onto plates. Spoon over some dressing (there will be a bit of dressing still left in the bowl, that's normal). Garnish with Thai basil leaves, sprinkle with remaining peanuts. Serve immediately (Note 7).
