This stir-fried young papaya and green bean dish is a light and flavorful vegetable side, combining tender shredded papaya with crisp green beans, sautéed in garlic and mild seasonings for a wholesome, home-style meal.
Shred the young papaya and gently squeeze it with a little salt, then wash it clean.
Sauté the shallots, garlic, and bay leaves until fragrant.
Add the shredded papaya and stir well. Season with salt, sugar, mushroom broth, and sweet soy sauce.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Make sure to wash the young papaya thoroughly after shredding, as failing to do so may result in a bitter taste.
