How to make Laotian Tam Mak Hoong

Peel the green outer layer of the papaya with a potato peeler. Shred the flesh of the papaya.  Although you can use a grater, the traditional way is to place the papaya on a flat surface and cut into the flesh at about 1/8 inch intervals, then cut the papaya horizontally also at 1/8 inch intervals creating long thin shreds.

Combine garlic, chilies, salt, sugar, shrimp paste, and crab paste into mortar and pestle and grind until all the ingredients are well combined.
