🥄 Texture
Bright, crisp, and crunchy from the julienned young papaya with a slight chew and fibrous bite. After a short marinate the papaya remains mostly firm and juicy, with a light coating of dressing that adds slight slipperiness.
👃 Aroma
Pronounced fresh garlic top notes with a savory, fermented soy aroma and a sharp citrus brightness from the lime. Overall the scent is tangy and savory with a clean vegetal undertone from the young papaya.
🍷 Pairs Well With
A chilled crisp lager, an ice-cold dry Sauvignon Blanc or a lightly sweetened iced green tea to cut saltiness and refresh the palate.
🥗 Side Dishes
Steamed jasmine rice or sticky rice, grilled or poached fish, cold rice vermicelli with herbs, fried tofu or shrimp crackers, and a platter of fresh herbs (mint, cilantro, Thai basil).
