After visiting Thailand and enjoying all the delicious food there, one thing I have a difficult time finding is green papaya. I can travel about an hour to the asian market to find it, however I recently found some people use alternatives, such as cabbage and julienned broccoli stalk which seems to work. So I looked around at some of the different recipes and came up with this.

  • 3 tbsp fish sauce

  • Green papaya or cabbage or broccoli stalk julienned
  • Green beans cut into bite sized pieces
  • Cherry or grape tomatoes halved

  • Crushed peanuts for topping (optional)
