Spicy Asian Cucumbers

This is one of my favorite ways to prepare cucumbers. Very different from the traditional way.

INGRIDIENT

3 large cucumbers - sliced lengthwise, seeds scooped out, and cut into 1/2-inch thick half rounds

2 teaspoons salt

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon white sugar

3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

2 teaspoons rice vinegar

1 ½ teaspoons toasted sesame oil

1 teaspoon hot chili oil

½ teaspoon red pepper flakes

DIRECTION

Step: 1

Place cucumbers into a colander, sprinkle with salt, and let drain at least 30 minutes. Shake off excess liquid but don’t rinse the cucumbers.

Step: 2

Whisk soy sauce, sugar, garlic, rice vinegar, sesame oil, hot chili oil, and red pepper flakes in a salad bowl. Stir in cucumbers to coat with dressing. Chill 2 to 3 hours before serving.
