Instructions

6 steps

1
Shred Papaya: Peel the green papaya. Use a julienne peeler or mandoline to shred the hard flesh into long, thin, crunchy strands. Stop when you reach the spongy core and seeds. Shred the carrot similarly.

2
Soak (Optional): Soak the shredded papaya in ice water for 10 minutes to maximize crispness, then drain and spin completely dry in a salad spinner.
3
Make Dressing: In a bowl, whisk the fish sauce, lime juice, and sugar until the sugar completely dissolves. Stir in the garlic and chili.
4
Combine: In a large mixing bowl, toss the shredded papaya and carrots.
5
Dress and Mix: Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss thoroughly. Add the shredded beef jerky (or shrimp) and most of the herbs. Toss again.
6
Serve: Transfer to a serving plate. Top with the crushed peanuts and the remaining fresh herbs. Serve immediately as a refreshing appetizer.
