intro

ingredients

5 mini cucumbers
2 tbsp rice vinegar
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp garlic, grated
2 tsp chili oil
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp sesame seeds
2 green onions, thinly sliced
pinch of salt

let's make it

01
place a cucumber between two chopsticks. make thin diagonal cuts along one side, using the chopsticks to keep from slicing all the way through
02
flip the cucumber over and make thin straight cuts along the other side. gently stretch it out to reveal the spiral, then repeat with the remaining cucumbers
03
whisk together the rice vinegar, soy sauce, grated garlic, chili oil, sesame oil, sesame seeds, green onions + salt
04
pour the dressing over the cucumbers and gently toss until they’re completely coated
05
let sit for a few minutes so the dressing gets into all those little spirals & enjoy
