Papaya Irichi
Papaya Irichi is a traditional Okinawan dish where shredded unripe green papaya is sautéed and simmered with pork and carrots. 'Irichi' refers to a unique Okinawan cooking method of sautéing ingredients in oil and then simmering them in dashi (broth). In Okinawa, it is common to eat green papaya as a vegetable rather than a fruit. Characterized by its crunchy texture and the gentle flavor of bonito dashi, it is a home-cooked taste loved by everyone from children to the elderly. The Irichi made by grandmothers is an indispensable dish on the Okinawan table. With the unique bite of green papaya and the deep umami of the dashi, please be sure to taste it when you visit Okinawa.
