LEFTOVER STIR FRY (GREEN PAPAYA)

Leftover Stir Fry (Green Papaya) image

Tonight, a friend was coming over and I asked if they were good with pot luck. So I looked at what I needed to use and found the green papaya. I decided to shred some and create a stir fry with a few other things I needed to use up....the bread was the end of a hearty loaf, the turkey was a bit dry and needed to be used. The rest is just what I made up. It would be great with other veggies added. This particular combination was quite interesting, it was quite close to mu shu, which I love. I didn't have any leftover pancake batter or I would have served it that way. It was really particularly good.

Tips:

Choose unripe green papayas for the best texture and flavor.
Use a vegetable peeler to remove the skin from the papaya, then slice it into thin strips.
Blanch the papaya strips in boiling water for 2 minutes, then drain and rinse them in cold water. This will help to remove the bitterness from the papaya.
Use a variety of vegetables in your stir-fry, such as carrots, bell peppers, onions, and broccoli.
Add protein to your stir-fry, such as chicken, beef, or tofu.
Use a flavorful sauce to enhance the taste of your stir-fry, such as a soy sauce-based sauce or a peanut sauce.
Serve your stir-fry with rice or noodles.
