3. Notes when making papaya salad with dried beef

To make delicious dried beef papaya salad, you should pay attention to choosing the right ingredients.

You should choose papaya with a green skin mixed with a few yellow spots, shiny and moderately firm when pressed. This type of papaya is very suitable for making salads because of its crunchy, fresh taste. Avoid choosing papaya that feels soft when pressed, shows signs of wilting and is no longer fresh.

You should choose a papaya that is medium in size, not too big, has an elongated shape, feels heavy in the hand and has a light, natural fragrance.

You should choose carrots that are bright orange, medium sized, not too big, have smooth skin and feel firm when held, not soft and mushy. Avoid choosing carrots that are misshapen, have cracked skin and show signs of bruising and drying out because these are carrots that have been stored for a long time and are no longer fresh and delicious.

Beef jerky can be bought in whole pieces or pre-shredded. Good beef jerky is dark yellow, long and thick, and when torn by hand, the meat feels very chewy and elastic.

Pay attention to the taste of the beef jerky. Good beef jerky has a strong and characteristic aroma of beef. When you eat it, you will feel the spicy, sweet and salty flavors.

You need to know how to distinguish between real and fake beef jerky to avoid buying fake meat. Do not buy red or dark red types, when you hold them you will see red on your hands and you cannot smell the beef clearly.

Choose quality ingredients, sell at reputable places. If you can make your own beef jerky, you should do it in advance.

To reduce the latex on the papaya, before peeling it, make a few cuts on the papaya. When peeling, peel it in a bowl of diluted salt water to prevent the latex from sticking to your hands.

The dressing should balance sour, spicy, salty, and sweet flavors. Depending on your taste, increase or decrease the ingredients to make the salad just right.

The way to make dried beef papaya as above is very simple and easy to do. You can make it as a snack or serve it to guests, invite friends to enjoy. Good luck!
