Hello friends! Mom was cooking pickled papaya today. It is one of my family's most favorite Filipino side dishes.
Cooking it is very easy but the laborious part is preparing the ingredients. All solid ingredients should be grated for it to have good texture and easy mixing process.
For our pickled papaya, we only have very few ingredients that includes : Unripe papayas, carrots, ginger, onions, cane vinegar, sugar and salt.
All ingredients should be mixed thoroughly in a heated pan and just have to cook them until the liquid is lightly boiling.
This pickled papaya is perfect with dried fishes, grilled or fried fish and other meat dishes. It is mostly a good pair with something salty.
Some pickled Papayas are having additional ingredients such as raisins, green beans and bitter melon. This is great food because it could even last a month if stored properly. We usually put them in a glass jar with a lid when it has cooled down from cooking.
