Spicy Asian Cucumber Salad

20 Minutes

2 Servings

Christie At Home

Ingredients

  • 12 Mini cucumbers or Persian cucumbers
  • 4 tsp Salt to drain water
  • Dressing:
  • 2 tbsp Regular Soya Sauce
  • 4 cloves Garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp Rice Vinegar or white vinegar
  • 2 tbsp Chinese Chili Oil
  • 2 tbsp White Granulated Sugar
  • 2 tsp Sesame Oil
  • 2 tsp Sesame Seeds
  • 4 tbsp green onion finely sliced

Method

  1. Wash cucumbers and cut off the ends.
  2. Place one cucumber between two chopsticks that you don’t mind nicking up (like takeout chopsticks). Make thin diagonal slices on the top. Then flip the cucumber over and do the same on the other side. Then cut cucumber into halves. Repeat for remaining cucumbers. Transfer to a large bowl. Alternatively, you can thinly slice your cucumbers too. Note: Do not cut them in on a straight angle or the spiral will not work.
  3. Sprinkle salt over cucumbers and gently massage into them. Let cucumbers soak in salt for 5 minutes (no more than 10 minutes or they will break down). Rinse with cold water at least 3-4 times to completely remove the salt. Strain and set aside.
  4. Combine dressing ingredients in a separate bowl.
  5. Pour dressing over cucumbers and gently mix. Enjoy!
