Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 1 English cucumber
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon sugar (omit if using seasoned rice vinegar)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/16 teaspoon crushed red pepper (to taste)
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 the outside of the cucumber well, using a veggie wash. Cut in half lengthwise, then cut each half lengthwise. Using the back of a chef's knife, gently smash each piece. Not too much! Just enough to break them down a bit. Slice into 1 inch pieces (bite size) and place them in a bowl.

  • Step 2: Add the remaining ingredients and stir to coat evenly. Taste and adjust seasoning, as needed. Set aside until serving time. If preparing early, refrigerate but remove 30 minutes before serving.

We hope you enjoy this recipe!
