Instructions

1. Soak the shredded papaya in ice water for about 15 minutes to make it crisper. Drain well, then dry it on a towel-lined plate, patting the top dry with another towel.
2. In a large mortar, pound the garlic and chilies into a rough paste.
3. Add the palm sugar and mash until it becomes a wet paste.
4. Add the long beans and pound just until broken.
5. Add the dried shrimp and peanuts and pound lightly so the peanuts are roughly chopped.
6. Add the fish sauce, tamarind paste and lime juice, plus the squeezed lime skin, and stir with a large spoon until the sugar dissolves.
7. Add the papaya and tomatoes and mix by pounding and flipping until the tomatoes are slightly crushed and everything is well mixed.
8. Plate and sprinkle with extra peanuts if desired.
