Everything you need to know about the integral ingredient.
came to the Serious Eats test kitchen to prepare a number of Thai salad recipes, including the classic green papaya salad. Throughout the day, he provided a lot of great information on how to shop for, store, and prepare green papaya. Here's what you need to know.Green papaya can be easily found at Asian markets, particularly markets that specialize in Southeast Asian produce. If you don't live in an area with these sorts of market options, there areas well.
Because of their large size, you most likely won’t go through a whole papaya for any single recipe, but they hold up best when kept intact, as they soften at a faster rate once the core and seeds are exposed.
, simply wrap the papaya back up, and pop it back in the crisper. Stored this way, green papaya will last for approximately two weeks.The key to a great som tam Thai is the interplay between the bright, bracing dressing and the crisp strips of green papaya that soak it up. The fruit needs to be cut into pieces that are sturdy enough that they won’t become soggy as soon as they are combined with the rest of the ingredients in the mortar and pestle.
Once the entire surface of the exposed papaya is covered with vertical cuts, turn the knife 90 degrees so that the blade is parallel with the surface of the fruit, and slice lengthwise across the papaya, away from you, to release the shreds you have created. Keep repeating this process until you obtain the amount of shredded papaya needed for your salad. Just make sure to stop making cuts on that portion of the papaya once you get to the core and seeds.
While this method may seem a little nerve-racking for anyone who doesn’t feel completely comfortable with their knife skills, it’s quite safe when done properly. Unlike, green papayas are very large, so they’re easy to hold safely; the flesh isn't slick, so a knife edge is less likely to slip during cutting; and you’re making light incisions, not trying to impale a pesky pit on the heel of a blade. With a little practice, you can shred with the best of them.
