Papaya Dressing

1. In the bowl of a food processor, combine chili peppers, garlic, palm sugar, lime juice, and fish sauce; process until smooth.

2. Add tomatoes and process for 2 seconds, until tomatoes are roughly chopped; set dressing aside until assembly.

Assembly

1. In a clay mortar, pound peanuts, long beans, and tomatoes until chunky and combined; add papaya, carrots, and 1 cup of the papaya dressing.
