Method
- Salt the green papaya lightly for 10 minutes, rinse, and squeeze gently to remove excess moisture and raw bitterness.
- Sauté garlic and onion, add pork, and cook until nearly done. Add shrimp and cook until opaque.
- Add papaya, carrot, soy sauce, and stock. Cover and cook 5–7 minutes until tender-crisp.
- Drain and cool the filling. It must be moist but not wet.
- Whisk wrapper ingredients and rest 15 minutes. Cook thin flexible crepes in a nonstick pan.
- Simmer sauce ingredients and thicken with slurry until glossy.
- Place lettuce and filling on each wrapper, fold the bottom and sides, and roll loosely.
- Spoon sauce over and top with garlic and peanuts immediately before serving.
