INGREDIENTS
250 g bean sprouts
150 g papaw, diced into 3cm cubes
2 spring onions, thinly sliced diagonally
2 tbsp coriander leaves, roughly chopped
2 tbsp mint leaves, roughly chopped
¼ cup peanuts
½ tsp minced garlic
4 tbsp lime juice
2 tbsp fish sauce
4 tbsp palm sugar syrup (available in most supermarkets, otherwise substitute with 3 tbsp maple syrup)
METHOD
1
Place peanuts in a dry pan and roast over medium heat on a stove top. Set aside.
2
Combine papaw and 1 tbsp lime juice in a bowl and allow to macerate for 2-3 minutes.
3
Meanwhile, pour boiling hot water into a bowl with the beansprouts. Drain and immediately plunge beansprouts into ice water to refresh. Drain and set aside.
4
In a mortar and pestle, crush dried shrimp with garlic and half of the roasted peanuts until you get a coarse paste. Combine this paste with remaining lime juice, fish sauce and palm sugar syrup (or maple syrup).
5
To assemble salad, combine beansprouts, spring onion, coriander, mint leaves and papaw. Toss to combine. Pour over dressing and mix well. Serve on a plate and sprinkle with remaining peanuts.
