💡 Professionelle Tips
- ✓To prepare the green papaya, peel it, remove the seeds, and cut it into cubes. Some recipes suggest soaking the papaya cubes in salted water with a pinch of baking soda for about 15 minutes to remove any bitterness.
- ✓If you can't find lean beef, you can use ground beef or pork.
- ✓For a vegetarian version, omit the beef and use vegetable broth instead of beef cooking liquid.
