Pickled Papaya Salad with Sesame Dressing
Matt SinclairIngredients:
Serves: 2-4
- ½ green papaya, peeled
- 1 Lebanese cucumber, peeled
- 2 green chillies, finely sliced
- 4 spring onions, finely sliced
- 1 cup coriander leaves
- 1 cup shiso leaves
- ¼ cup well roasted sesame seeds
Dressing:
- ½ cup soy sauce
- ½ cup rice wine vinegar
- 4 tbsp caster sugar
- 4 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 cup shiso leaves
Method:
- To prepare the papaya, shave it finely into half-moon shapes using a mandolin. You need approximately 2 cups.
- Combine all dressing ingredients in a blender and strain over the shaved green papaya to begin the pickling process. Pickle until ready to serve.
- Slice the cucumber into 3mm discs and set aside.
- When ready to serve, remove the papaya from the dressing. Combine with all other salad ingredients, except sesame seeds. Toss the salad and use approximately 2 tbsp of the dressing to season everything. Place into a serving bowl and finish with a large spoonful of toasted sesame seeds over the top.
