LEARN HOW TO MAKE A CRUNCHY GREEN PAPAYA SALAD RECIPE RIGHT AT HOME!
LAY HO LAY HO! I must warn you up front that this salad is incredibly delicious and extremely addictive. You may be tempted to enjoy this by itself or on a burger or in a taco. Join me in this episode and learn how to make a refreshingly crunchy green papaya salad recipe today!
Ingredients:
1 medium green papaya
25g Thai basil
25g mint
small piece ginger
1 Fuji apple
2 cups cherry tomatoes
2 pieces garlic
2 green chili peppers
1 red chili pepper
1 lime
1/3 cup rice vinegar
2 tbsp maple syrup
2 1/2 tbsp soy sauce
1 cup peanuts
Directions:
1. Peel the green papaya. Hold the papaya in one hand and the knife in the other. Then, very carefully and continuously chop at the papaya making lots of cuts (wear a non-cut glove if possible)
2. Carefully slice down the papaya making rustic looking shreds. Roll around the papaya and repeat until you see the inner seeds peeking through
3. Add the Thai basil and mint to the papaya. Very thinly slice the ginger and apple into matchsticks and add to the salad. Thinly slice the cherry tomatoes and add to the salad
4. Finely chop the garlic and chili peppers. Place them into a bowl along with the juice of 1 lime, rice vinegar, maple syrup, and soy sauce. Mix to combine
5. Pour the dressing onto the salad and mix to combine
6. Heat up a frying pan to medium heat and add in the peanuts. Toast for 4-5min. Then, transfer to a pestle and mortar. Coarsely crush the peanuts

[@llmbaofeng]

I just made it yesterday (my version of papaya salad😅) ,without garlic and apple,and for the flavour I add 3 lemons sugar and salt. I will try your version next time.

Just love him dont you!! Great delivery, straight forward, no fancy talks and great dishes. God Bless your hands...

[@southernmermaid2526]

In my opinion….this is the most craveable dish in the world. Once I start thinking about papaya salad my mouth waters so much that I just have to eat one. I can not imagine being able to wait overnight to eat it. As always I love that you include apple in your recipe. 🥰

Lol this is exactly how i feel. Salivating n all

[@suwitchakanteewong214]

In Thailand we have fruit salads. We use corn, grapes, apples instead of papaya, and fish sauce instead of soy sauce. We also pound all the ingredients in a mortar instead of mixing them. Additionally, if you change from papaya to raw mango (sour), add sliced ​​shallots (without nuts, lime, basil, mint, ginger) you'll get "mango salad", which is perfect to serve with jasmine rice and fried fish. (or fried tofu). Hope you like it :)

[@TomTraderTH]

+ dry shrimp or salted egg

[@loveispatient0808]

Well, this isn’t a Thai salad, it’s different as he’s from Canada!😮

[@theyreMineralsMarie]

One of my favorite parts about traveling through Thailand was trying all the different local variations of Som Tam. Some were spicy and fragrant, others were sour and funky. I love them all.

[@gracielou4075]

There should be an Awesome button for your recipes. I really like how some of the elements are shredded and match-sticked. I feel like it enhances the dishes. I might be wrong, but it’s like it tastes better.

[@suesmith3914]

Hello Yeung Man your cooking is superb, I am Asian always prepare Asian vegan dishes at home So glad to see you are sharing your knowledge on making them Thank you so much have fun cooking sir

[@rebeccadees2300]

This recipe is very different from the other Thai green papaya salad recipes I’ve watched on KZbin. Looks delicious.

[@mariaannettegonsalves3121]

You are an amazing chef! Love watching you cook! I used to be scared to cook for others, but you make it seem so easy, simple, tasty and nutritious too, thank you.

[@Rovinman]

Here in my Thai village and throughout Thailand, you will find that we pound all the ingredients together. It is made instantly fresh for our customers. Papaya, is known as Malagor in Thai ! "Palaa" the fish sauce, IS an acquired taste, but tell your chef to leave it out beforehand, so that it can be made to your taste ! I like it SPICY I know when it is spicy enough, when my nose and eyes, are running copiously ! Enjoy ! Take care, stay safe ! Stu xx

[@YEUNGMANCOOKING]

Amazing 🙌🏻 I like your spice level style 😎

[@doodahgurlie]

In Vietnam, they don't pound the papaya down. They dress it like he does. I grew up eating various versions of it in Laos even though my family is Vietnamese...and yes, we pound it down in Laos. LOL!

[@viennaxay]

​@@doodahgurlie yes. Papayas salad originated from Laos 🇱🇦. It's called "Thum maak hoong

[@asikowe]

Som tam was my biggest culinary discovery of all times. I devoured kilograms of it whilst in Thailand. Add some sticky rice = absolute divinity. I haven't found green papaya as of yet over here, but I've done it with spiralized cucumber and carrots. Looovely.

[@marissa_____]

Sounds like how one would describe a good friend "sweet, spicy and a little nutty' :D

[@YEUNGMANCOOKING]

😆😆😆

[@natania5301]

You're videos are so beautifully shot and edited. It is so lovely to see a vegan sauce version without fish sauce! Thank you so much🙏🏽

[@garya3056]

What a great method for shredding the green papaya, Wil. I’ve often resorted to my mandoline which does an ok job - certainly not like yours though! There is a busy but humble little Thai restaurant in Hong Kong’s Pacific Place mall on the 1st floor called “Thai Basil” that serves a great version of this (and an even better pomelo salad as well) that are quite extraordinary. I’ve learned that most Thai restaurants add fish sauce to these salads, so make sure you request no fish sauce whenever & wherever you order them. Have a great Sunday up there 👆, Wil! 😎

[@DolceArdore]

This is the traditional way of shredding papaya in Thailand, where papaya salad is practically the national dish. Funny story... I was on a snorkeling trip in Thailand and we were served standard tourist food like bland fried rice, fried chicken, pineapple and watermelon. I noticed the kitchen staff were still preparing food and I asked what they were doing. I was told they were making their own lunch and with all smiles, they invited me into the kitchen. Rather than eating the crap they had just made for the tourists, they were making papaya salad. They let me try their papaya salad and taught me how to shred the papaya using a knife. (I don't remember anything about the snorkeling.)

[@belle3168]

@@DolceArdore someone who gets it! Another older gent in this comment section is saying how unsafe it is to cut it this way, so I suggested using a grater, but fron his response, he must be feeling a little cranky today.

[@DolceArdore]

@@belle3168 I also remember seeing the Thai aunties on the side of the street, gossiping with one another and not even looking down at the papaya in their hand while they hack away at it with their scarily huge knives. I'm sure most of them got a nasty cut way back when but rather than going the glove route, they simply developed mad skillz. I generally prefer the texture of knife cut papaya to using a grating device, but I have to admit that I'm lacking in both skill and patience and often resort to using a grater.

[@violetviolet888]

Does your mandolin have different julienne options? Watch any Thai street food video where they're making this common street food dish. It's normal for them to not be wearing gloves and using this method to shred papaya. Holding the knife properly, paying attention while you're learning the method, getting into a rhythm, practice and experience can make you as good or better than any machine and here there is variation in the shreds which makes for more interesting texture. Hot Thai Kitchen has an amazing authentic green papaya salad that I make and it's absolutely delicious.

[@andrewharrison8398]

There’ a Thai tool called. Kiwi (I know - weird) that shreds papaya perfectly. No need for knives or gloves. Also saves bucket loads of time. Easily available online, and cheap. Do yourselves a favour…

[@kpchandran]

I love this recrlipe! Thank you for sharing.. The papaya salad is one of my favorites at my local Thai restaurant. I have never experienced a burst of flavors in your palate like this salad gives you. I wondered how I could make this salad at home for my family. Now I know. Thank you.

[@nanetteorchid6680]

I can't wait to try making this salad today! It is one of my favorite salads on the planet! One little crunch that we love to add to ours is to buy the tiny frozen anchovies( any good asian market) and quickly deep fry them till golden....draining on a paper towel...before topping on the salad. It's a lovely salty crunch to add for many salads! Thank you for a beautiful, relaxing video...you have a lovely voice and speed with which to teach us!
