I went to the market that time when I saw the grated green papaya, actually it was my first time to see such in that market. I then looked and seconds after I craved for stir-fry. Then I realized about hot/spicy small sardines with it together with the spices (green and red bell peppers, onion, garlic, a little soy sauce and salt) to saute together. With that seconds of imagination, I then grabbed its paddle and I got little just more than enough for me because I was (until now) sure that he would not eat such vegetable (he called it strange food because he haven't eaten it in his entire life---he's American) and then shopped for other stuffs that would go with it. Then after I got all the ingredients and the stuffs I liked to get for consumption and some, I then went to the parking lot where DH waited for me. We then went home. As then all the groceries done put into its places, I then cooked the "sauteed green papaya w/ spicy sardines". this is my first time to cook of this but not my first time to eating, I ate mostly as I was young. Take note this recipe is "gluey wetly" one when cooked. To proceed, all I did was: (1) wash the grated green papaya and let the water and the papaya separate each other through putting it in the streamer the set aside, (2) slice all the spices (green and red bell peppers, onion, garlic) into long style cut then set aside, (3) hit the skillet with 2 tablespoons oil then fry the spices until brown, (4) then put the small can of hot/spicy sardines then after mix upside down, (5) put then the grated green papaya and wait until boil, (6) let stand for a couple of minutes (three to five} or until cook. Then serve with rice then with soft drinks like sprite or 7/up (for me). The smell is heaven to me. I know some may find this as bizarre but I like it so much (whenever I craved). So then, happy eating... :-)
