How to julienne green papaya for som tum like a Thai.
Some street-vendor papaya salads in Thailand look different from restaurant versions because street vendors often use this manual julienne method, while restaurants often use a julienne peeler or grater made specifically for papaya which is much easier and creates longer, more even strings rather than these haphazard sticks.
But when I see papaya salad made with these sticks, it instantly reminds me of home because this is the look I grew up with.
