Instructions

1. Prepare the Aromatics: In a mortar, pound the garlic and bird's eye chilies until bruised, then add the yardlong beans and pound gently.

2. Season: Add the palm sugar, fish sauce, and lime juice into the mortar. Mix well until the sugar is dissolved.

3. Mix Ingredients: Add the tomatoes and shredded raw papaya. Gently pound and mix everything together until well-combined with the dressing.

4. Add Protein: Add the grilled pork neck into the mortar and toss gently so the flavors soak into the meat.

5. Serve: Transfer to a plate, top with roasted peanuts, and it is ready to serve.

Tip: If you prefer a richer, more authentic "Nua" flavor, you can add 1 tablespoon of boiled fermented fish sauce (pla ra) to the dressing.
