Preparation

To make the fish dipping sauce, combine fish sauce, vinegar, sugar and water into a saucepan and place on medium heat. Stir well and cook until just before boiling point is reached, then allow to cool. To serve, finely chop the garlic and chilli and stir through with the lime juice. Makes 250 ml.

In a large bowl combine the green papaya, pork belly, sliced herbs, dipping fish sauce and mix well.

Turn out onto a serving platter and arrange the prawns on top of the green
papaya salad.

Garnish with fried Asian shallots, peanuts and chilli.

TIP. Submerge the julienne green papaya in cold water for 4 minutes then
drain. This keeps the crisp texture of the green papaya.

Yummy, fresh Vietnamese dish!!
This dish is so yummy and healthy. The salad is fresh, refreshing and well-balanced. It made you always want to come back for more. I love the dressing. It's just light and tasty with an addictive aroma. :) I cooked this papaya salad following Luke's recipe. Luke always has a great talent in teaching Vietnamese dishes.

Luke also has a new cook book out called "The Songs of Sapa" It is such a great recipe book and a definite must have for those who want to cook real authentic vietnamese cuisines. His book also goes on to explain what part of Vietnam each recipe comes from.

It will taste even better with dried beef (Khô Bò) thrown in. Dried beef can be found in Vietnamese grocery stores and they're thin slices of dried beef in 100g, 200g, etc bags.

Mai you are truly an idiot! Green papaya skin in the garden is called composte. Educate yourself before critising others - as it is embarresing yourself.

Dried vs. fresh herbs

When substituting dried herbs for fresh herbs use approximately a third of the suggested quantity, as the dried herbs will tend to be more pungent. However, the older the dried herbs the less flavour they will have, so taste as you go.
