Ingredients

Steps

Pound the garlic and chilies to a rough paste in a mortar.
Add the beans and tomatoes and bruise them lightly so they release juice.
Stir in the lime juice, fish sauce, and palm sugar until the sugar dissolves.
Add the papaya and peanuts and pound-toss gently until everything is coated but still crunchy.
Taste for the sour-salty-sweet-hot balance and serve cold.
