Optimally you will have most of the ingredients on hand...except the sprouts and green papaya. Dinner will be ready in less than 15 minutes because I'm tired from going to 8 million places for groceries as is my wont and the last stop was the Thai market over at Berwyn where they sell prepped green papaya shreds for under 2$ a lb. This isn't a proper papaya salad. I just like it anyway.
For the sauce:
2 tb tamarind paste or 4 tamarind pods (soak either in 2tb water and squish until the water is DARK Brown
1 tb honey
2 tb soysauce
2 tb samabal oelek or sri racha
1 green onion
2 tb dried shrimp if you like but totally not necessary
mix this and toss with the other stuff
You'll need
1 lb shredded and seeded green papaya
3 tb peanuts chopped or crushed
basil
cilantro
baked tofu chunks
another chopped green onion
And any of the above you like:
leftover mushroom steak bits
broccoli leaves
any leftover lettuces that haven't wilted
mung sprouts if you want
pieces of fresh tomato
leftover cooked green beans
rehydrated cellophane noodles if you like (put 2 pkg mung/ yam noodles in a bowl and pour boiling water over them.drain and chill for later. Mix into salad after chilling.
