• 1 tube Vanilla extract

Instructions for making papaya jam:

• Start by dissolving 1 tablespoon of lime powder in water and let it settle for 1 hour, then use the clear lime water above.

• Next, soak the papaya in the clear lime water for about 2 hours. Afterward, rinse the papaya several times in cold water to remove any excess lime.
• Boil some water and pour it over the papaya for a quick 1-minute blanching, then drain the papaya.
• Mix 500g of prepared papaya with 200g of sugar and 1 tube of vanilla extract, and let it marinate for 1 hour. Then, place the papaya in a pan, cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the liquid reduces, then lower the heat.

Ingredients:

• 1 green papaya (about 900g)
• 300g sugar
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 3 pandan leaves

Instructions:

Preparing the papaya:

• Peel the green skin from the papaya and rinse off the milky sap.
• Cut the papaya in half and slice it thinly, about the thickness of a finger, along the length of the fruit. Remove the seeds to make the papaya strips more attractive.
• Slice the papaya further into finer strips, about 1/4 of a finger's width.

Soaking the papaya:

• Place the sliced papaya into a basin, add 1 tablespoon of salt, mix well, and let it soak for about 2 hours for the salt to infuse the papaya.
• After soaking, add enough water to cover the papaya and let it sit for another 30 minutes to remove some of the saltiness. Then rinse it with water.
• Change the water and soak the papaya for another 30 minutes. Repeat the soaking and rinsing process several times until the papaya is no longer salty. Once done, drain it in a colander.

Marinating the papaya:

• Put the drained papaya in a basin, add 300g of sugar, and mix well.
• Place the basin with papaya into the refrigerator and marinate for 4 - 5 hours to allow the sugar to dissolve and infuse into the papaya.

Making the papaya jam:

• After marinating, remove the papaya and pour the syrup into a large pan.
• Heat the syrup over high heat until it boils, then add the papaya and stir briefly. At this point, the syrup will start to bubble lightly.
• Once the syrup starts boiling strongly, lower the heat to medium, add the pandan leaves and blanch them for about 10 minutes to infuse a fragrant aroma into the jam.
• Continue to cook the papaya, stirring until the syrup thickens and the edges of the pan have crystallized sugar. Lower the heat as much as possible and stir continuously.
• After a while, the syrup will dry up and coat the papaya. Keep cooking until the papaya becomes dry as well, then turn off the heat.

Stewing the bones:

Cooking the soup:

• Once the bones are stewed, add the papaya and continue cooking on medium heat for another 10 minutes, or until the papaya becomes soft.

Prepare Vegetables:

• Peel the green papaya, wash it thoroughly, and soak it in water for about 15 minutes to remove the sap.
• After soaking, shred the papaya into thin strips (discard the seeds).

Make the Fish Sauce Dressing:

Assemble the Salad:

• Take a large deep bowl and add all ingredients (shrimp, pig's ears, papaya, carrot). Toss them together with the coriander.
• Gradually pour in the prepared fish sauce dressing and toss gently to let the papaya absorb the flavors without splashing the dressing out of the bowl.
