The ingredients to cook Papaya Salad

           Papaya Salad requires only a few ingredients, including papaya, tomato, fresh and dried chili, lemon, garlic, fish sauce, granulated sugar, monosodium glutamate, and others. However, depending on the consumers, Papaya Salad may include fermented fish sauce because some people do not consume fermented fish sauces. Acacia seeds, dried shrimp, and other ingredients can be sprinkled on top of the papaya salad.

1. Pound the chilis and garlic in a mortar until it is coarsely ground.

However, before eating papaya salad, you must seriously select a clean restaurant since papaya salad is one of the Thai foods that has a high probability of diarrhea because the way of cooking is not through heat which is assisted to kill germs. Furthermore, the cookers are not always sanitary or hygienic.  There is some sad news in Thailand that some foreigners suffer diarrhea as a result of eating Thai Papaya Salad.
