Ingredients

Servings:2
  • 2 pieces Salted duck eggs (pre-cooked)
  • 2 cups Green papaya, shredded
  • 3 pieces Garlic cloves
  • 4 pieces Bird's eye chilies
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Palm sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Fish sauce
  • 3 tablespoons Lime juice
  • 1/2 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup Long beans, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons Roasted peanuts
  • 1 tablespoon Dried shrimp(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat and lightly char the whole salted eggs for 3-5 minutes until the shells have smoky marks.

  2. 2

    Peel the grilled salted eggs and cut them into quarters, then set aside.

  3. 3

    In a large mortar and pestle, pound the garlic and bird's eye chilies until a coarse paste forms.

  4. 4

    Add the palm sugar, fish sauce, and lime juice to the mortar, stirring with a spoon to dissolve the sugar.

  5. 5

    Add the long beans and dried shrimp, lightly bruising them with the pestle to release their juices.

  6. 6

    Toss in the shredded green papaya and cherry tomatoes, pounding gently while using a spoon to turn the salad so everything is evenly coated.

  7. 7

    Add the roasted peanuts and give the salad one final light toss.

  8. 8

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