Chinese cucumber salad is a perfectly refreshing dish that anyone can enjoy. This dish is very popular in China, with each region doing it a little differently. The best part of the dish is that it is cool, crunchy, mouth wateringly good and it only takes a few minutes to prepare!
Ingredients
4 persian cucumbers, cubed
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbs garlic, chopped
1 tbs rice vinegar
1/2 tbs sesame oil
1/2 tbs granulated sugar
1 tbs light soy sauce
1/2 tbs chili paste
1/2 tbs red chili flakes
Directions
Cut the cucumber into small cubes, or bite size pieces. Place pieces into a bowl and sprinkle a generous amount of salt into it. Let it sit out for about 30 min to bring out the salt from the cucumbers to make for a crunchier finish. Rinse the cucumber well and drain, and place back into the rinsed out bowl.
Add in the remaining ingredients. Make sure to test out the balance of the flavors adding a little bit more at a time to ensure you have the taste levels that you prefer.
Let sit in the sauce for about 10 minutes to let the cucumbers soak up the flavors.
Plate, serve and enjoy!
