1 Step 1: Pound the garlic and chilies in a mortar into a rough paste, then add the palm sugar and pound until it becomes a wet paste. Stir in the fish sauce and lime juice until the sugar is fully dissolved, and add the dried shrimp if using.2 Step 2: Shred the papaya and julienne the carrot. Soak the papaya in ice water for about 15 minutes to crisp it, then drain and dry it thoroughly so the dressing is not diluted.3 Step 3: Lightly pound the green beans in the mortar just until they begin to break, then add the tomatoes and pound gently until they are slightly crushed and juicy.4 Step 4: In a large bowl, combine the papaya, carrot, green beans, tomatoes, shallot, cilantro and Thai basil. Pour the dressing over and toss well until everything is evenly coated.5 Step 5: Arrange on a platter, scatter the chopped peanuts over the top, and add extra herbs if you like. Serve immediately.getsaucepan.com/r/850aa207-7074-54a9-a971-ca106e235888
