Place chillies, garlic, sugar and dried shrimps in a large bowl or mortar and crush or pound to break up to a semi-paste texture. Add snow peas or beans and tomatoes and pound a few times to combine evenly. Mix in carrots or papaya, lime juice and fish sauce, adjusting to taste with more lime or fish sauce as preferred. To serve, place cabbage or lettuce leaves on serving plates and top with salad and a sprinkling of peanuts.
Tips
This cruncy salad makes a perfect starter or side dish with an Asian menu. To turn this into a meal, stir through cooked prawn tails or two finely sliced cooked chicken breasts just before serving.
