nb, it was almost a sweet & sour dressing - not spicy ('cause everyone knows
I don't do spicy). <g>

What I've had in the past used garlic, fish sauce, sugar, rice vinegar, and
I'm guessing some lime, but it could have been tart from the papaya alone,
oh, and I remember chopped peanuts. (I asked them once how they made it,
I'm trying to remember.) I used to order it all the time at "A Saigon
Cafe'" back on Maui. It was my absolute favorite dish and very inexpensive.
They juilliened green papaya, interspersed it with juliiened carrots and
cucumber and topped it with cilantro, fresh mint leaves and crispy shrimp -
not fried shrimp, but cooked until the outside of the shrimp was just
crispy, but the inside was perfectly done.

Hope you can come up with something from what I've written. It's a
fantastic dish and I need to make it, I just never have. I'd get it weekly,
so I didn't need to try. :~) I think it's time!!!!!
