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
notes
- — serve shortly after dressing if you want to keep them super crunchy.
