Wash the papaya well with water and peel it using a vegetable peeler. Now there are multiple ways in which you can shred the green papaya. 1. Using a knife - Make long cuts in the raw papaya flesh by constantly tapping with a sharp knife, then thinly slice the top layer into the bowl until all the papaya is shredded. 2. Using a julienne peeler - This is my fav way to prepare the papaya for this recipe. Peel the papaya and cut it in half. Remove the seeds using a spoon. Not using a julienne pepper, julienne the papaya. If the juliennes are too long, cut them into smaller pieces. 3. Using a mandoline slicer - Cut the peeled papaya into very thin slices using a mandoline slicer. Stack up the slices and julienne them into thin strips.
