Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 1/2 pound cucumber (1 cucumber about 8 inches)
  • 3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon mirin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon fresh mint
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Wash cucumber very well, or peel it.

  • Step 2: Cut cucumber in half crosswise and then in half lengthwise. Remove seeds.

  • Step 3: Thinly slice cucumber and place in a glass bowl.

  • Thickness depends on how crisp you want the cucumbers to be when finished. Thicker = Crisper, but Thinner = Yummier!

  • Step 4: Place remaining ingredients into a magic bullet jar or a small food processor bowl. Process for about 30 seconds or until the mint looks like small specks.

  • Step 5: Pour marinade over sliced cucumbers, mix well and refrigerate for at least an hour.

  • To serve, I usually place in individual shallow white prep bowls or little japanese ceramic serving dishes, spooning a little bit of the marinade over the top
