Ingredients
- Green papaya (Peeled and shredded; the creator prefers hand-chopping it for uneven pieces, texture, and crunch.)
- Bird’s-eye chili
- 1 tbsp Sugar
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- Fermented fish sauce
- Minced crab (The video text appears to show a minced crab product labeled “Ba Khía”; no amount used in the salad is stated.)
- Tamarind sauce
- Lime
Steps
- 1
Peel the papaya. Shred it with a hand shredder, or chop it by hand into uneven pieces for more texture and crunch. Set it aside.

- 3
Add 1 cup cherry tomatoes, fermented fish sauce, minced crab, tamarind sauce, and lime to the mortar.
- 4
Gently pound the mixture together so the ingredients combine without over-crushing them.
- 5
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings to your preference.
- 6
Add the shredded papaya to the mortar.
- 7
Pound or gently mix the papaya with the sauce for about 2 minutes, until evenly coated while retaining texture and crunch.
