Cooking Instructions

1. Whisk lime zest, lime juice, sugar, fish sauce and chiles in a large bowl.

2. Add papaya, onion and pea shoots (or sprouts) to the vinaigrette; toss to combine. Sprinkle with pepper just before serving.

Tips: Palm sugar is an unrefined sweetener similar in flavor to brown sugar. It's sold in pods or as a paste in Asian markets or at importfood.com.

Green papaya is underripe papaya that is green and firm. Look for it in Asian markets. If you can't find one, a ripe papaya will still taste delicious in this salad.
