My Green Papaya Salad

This vibrant green papaya salad is a masterclass in balancing the four essential pillars of Southeast Asian flavour: salty, sweet, sour, and spicy. By combining crunchy unripe papaya with juicy cucumber and two types of mango, this dairy-free dish offers a wonderful contrast of textures and temperatures. The addition of charred long beans brings a smoky depth that elevates the salad from a simple side dish to a sophisticated starter or light lunch.

Perfect for warm afternoons or as a refreshing accompaniment to grilled fish or chicken, this homemade salad is naturally healthy and packed with fresh aromatics. Using a traditional mortar and pestle to grind the ginger, garlic, and coriander root ensures the dressing is rich and deeply infused. Finish with a generous scatter of crushed roasted peanuts for a satisfying crunch that rounds out the zingy lime and fragrant Thai basil.

  • 1 fresh Thai bird chilli, or more to taste

  • 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic

  • 1/2 teaspoons minced shallot

  • 2 tablespoons palm or brown sugar, or more to taste

  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce, or more to taste

  • Juice of 3 limes, or more to taste

  • 4 Chinese long beans, trimmed

  • 1 cup loosely packed fresh Thai basil leaves

  • 1 cup loosely packed fresh Vietnamese mint (rau ram) leaves

  • 2 cups julienned peeled green (unripe) papaya

  • 300g julienned peeled cucumber

  • 150g julienned peeled green (unripe) mango

  • 300g julienned peeled ripe mango

  • 180ml 1/2-inch-thick pineapple batons (size of a lady's pinkie)

  • 110g julienned fresh long red chilies, such as Anaheim or Hungarian Wax

  • 110g lightly crushed salted roasted peanuts

Use a mortar and pestle to pound all the dressing ingredients until smooth, pounding each ingredient thoroughly before adding the next. taste and add more fish sauce, lime juice, chilli, and/or palm sugar if you want. The flavour's up to you.

  1. Heat a grill pan, cast-iron skillet, or grill until very hot. Cut the long beans into a manageable size for your pan, if necessary, then char the beans well on all sides, about 4 minutes total. Transfer them to a bowl, cover it tightly with plastic wrap, and let them steam for about 10 minutes. Cut the beans into 1/2-inch pieces and return them to the bowl.

  2. Tear the basil and mint leaves. Toss together the long beans with the papaya, cucumber, mango, pineapple, long red chilies, herbs, and the dressing. If you have a large enough mortar or want to work in batches and take the time to make the salad even better, pound the ingredients with the dressing just to bruise them and further infuse the ingredients with the flavour of the dressing. transfer the dressed salad to a serving bowl and sprinkle with the crushed peanuts.
