Vegan Papaya Salad in 15 minutes

Step 1

First of all, prepare all the veggies. Chop the beans into 1 inch pieces, grate the carrot and papaya (or slice the cabbage if you're not using papaya). Also chop the tomatoes into eighths.

Step 2

Put the papaya (or cabbage) and carrot into a large bowl, then set aside.

Step 3

In a pestle and mortar, add the sugar, chillies and garlic. Pound until the ingredients form a rough paste.

Step 4

Add the tomatoes and green beans and continue to bash.

Step 5

Put the rough paste in with the carrot and papaya/cabbage in the big bowl.

Step 6

Squeeze the lime juice and pour vegan fish sauce (or soy/tamari) into the bowl with the carrot, cabbage and paste.

Step 7

Finally, pop the peanuts in and mix together until thoroughly combined.

Step 8

Serve with a wedge of lime, crushed peanuts and extra chilli – if you dare!
