Since i'm a fan of Papaya, this time i'll use it in my cooking menu. Choose a raw (real raw, don't take half raw or even ripes one) cause it'll taste crunchy smooth. I learn to cook this from my maid..she always cook my fave dish everytime i went home or without i'm asking her, she'll send it to my parents.
I like to eat them hot or cold, as a salad. It's very simple, very hot and spicy too!
For those who don't really enjoy spicey dish, can reduce it by adding tomato on the base herbs.
Pepaya Muda Masak Pedas
(Hot & Spicy Papaya)
The Ingredients:
- 1 Medium Raw Papaya
- 4 tablespoon Ground Chilis
- 1 1/2 tablespoon Ground shallots
- 1 tablespoon Ground Garlic
- 3 Keffir Lime (Daun Jeruk)
- 1 teaspoon Balacan (grind then fried)
- Thumbsize Galangal
- 2 Bayleaves
- Sweet soy sauce
- sugar, Salt to taste
How To Make:
- Slice the Papaya, i suggest using the slicer specially for vegetables/potato.
- Grind the chilis, but not to fine. If you want to reduce the spicy hot taste, add some tomatoes to the grinder.
- Fry the ground chilis, shallots, garlic, galangal, bayleaves & balacan alltogether until fragrant. Add keffir lime follow with the shredded papaya. Mix well.
- If its started to get lump, put in sugar-salt to taste. Add the sweet soy sauce, but don't pour too much. Give it a little first, then taste. If you think it's needed more then pour some again. Hint: If you pour too much soy sauce the colour of the dish will be too dark and it'll ruin the flavor too.
- Serve as a starter (salad) or with plain rice.
