Ingredients

4	ounces	green papaya
1	clove	garlic
3	small	chilies	red or green
1	tablespoon	peanuts	roasted
1	ounce	beans	long, chopped into 1 inch lengths or french beans
2	tablespoons	lemon juice
3	tablespoons	soy sauce, light
1	teaspoon	sugar
1	medium	tomato	chopped into segments
2	large	chinese cabbage	leaves

Directions

Peel the outer skin from the green papaya and finely shred the flesh on a cheese grater or chop very finely into long thin shreds.

Set aside.

In a mortar, lightly pound the garlic, add the chilis and lightly pound while occasionally stirring with a spoon to prevent the resulting paste from thickening.

Add the long beans and slightly bruise them.

Add the shredded papaya, lightly pound and stir until all the ingredients are blended together.

Add the lemon juice, soy sauce and sugar and stir into the mixture.

Finally add the tomato, stirring once.

Arrange the Chinese cabbage leaves on a serving dish and turn the yam on to them.

Diners should tear off a section of cabbage leaf to use as a scoop for the yam, the two being eaten together.

This dish is especially good with sticky rice.

Fresh Asparagus-Shrimp Rice

This really was good. I was out of rice, but I did have orzo, so I used that. Only things I would change is the amount of pepper -- just a smidge will do; and the amount of margarine. If you are making this in a non-stick pan, as the recipe directs, I think you're fine with half that amount.
