Green Papaya Cashew Stir-Fry

🇹🇭 Thai

Instructions

  1. 1

    Get your wok ripping hot and add the Coconut Oil — it should shimmer instantly.

  2. 2

    Toss in the shallots and red curry paste for 15 seconds, no longer, so they perfume the oil without burning.

  3. 3

    Add the green papaya and stir-fry hard, keeping everything moving until just cooked through.

  4. 4

    Throw in the bell pepper and spring onions, then splash in the fish sauce around the edge of the wok.

  5. 5

    Toss twice more, kill the heat, and serve immediately over steamed rice — a stir-fry waits for no one.

Chef's tip

Prep everything before the heat goes on — thai cooking moves fast once it starts.
