Step 1
Using a box grater or julienne peeler, shred the green papaya into thin matchsticks into a large bowl.
Step 2
Add the minced chili, lime juice, fish sauce, and a pinch of salt to the papaya.
Step 3
Gently toss everything together until the papaya begins to soften and release its juices, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in the cherry tomatoes and half the peanuts, reserving the rest for topping.
Step 5
Divide between two bowls and top with fresh cilantro, mint, and remaining peanuts.
Step 6
Serve immediately while the papaya is still crisp.
