Ingredients

Servings:2
  • 2 cups Green papaya, shredded
  • 2 pieces Salted duck eggs
  • 6 pieces Cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup Long beans, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 3 pieces Bird's eye chilies
  • 2 pieces Garlic cloves
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Palm sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Fish sauce
  • 3 tablespoons Lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons Roasted peanuts
  • 1 tablespoon Dried shrimp(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat a grill or toaster oven to 350°F (175°C) and grill the whole salted eggs for 8-10 minutes until the shells show slight char marks and the inside is fragrant.

  2. 2

    Peel the grilled salted eggs and cut them into quarters, setting them aside for the final assembly.

  3. 3

    In a large mortar and pestle, pound the garlic and chilies together until they form a coarse paste.

  4. 4

    Add the palm sugar, dried shrimp, and peanuts, pounding lightly to break them down while mixing with the paste.

  5. 5

    Add the long beans and bruise them slightly with the pestle, then toss in the cherry tomatoes and lightly crush them to release their juices.

  6. 6

    Whisk in the fish sauce and lime juice until the sugar is fully dissolved and the dressing is well combined.

  7. 7

    Add the shredded green papaya to the mortar and use a spoon and pestle to toss and lightly bruise the papaya so it absorbs the dressing.

  8. 8

    Transfer the salad to a serving plate and gently top with the grilled salted egg quarters before serving immediately.
