Laotian Papaya Salad - Don't Eat Those Fingers Like They're Just Another Meal

I've attempted to make this salad three times now and think I finally have it reasonably close to the version in the video. I had this at a restaurant near the apartment and the initial taste of it was stronger than just about anything I've ever tasted. Then my mouth slowly caught fire and I knew this was a great dish. All the fire of Mexican food doused in Dave's Insanity without the cheese, lard and meat.
I don't have a giant mortar and pestle, nor do I have the knife skills to hack at a papaya like this lady. But I was able to make due by dicing and mashing as best I could. All of the ingredients, including pre-shredded green papaya should be available at an Asian market.
