Vietnamese dinner - Part 2

The "cooking party" was a fun activity and between the exchanges of notes from the memories of those who took the cooking lessons in Hanoi, there were lots of other stories as friends got reacquainted after a long time of not seeing each other.

After shaving the green papaya and carrots, these are squeezed of their juices.
One can use a clean cloth to squeeze out the juices from the papayas and carrots
