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

  1. 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

  2. 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

  3. 03

    whisk together the rice vinegar, soy sauce, grated garlic, chili oil, sesame oil, sesame seeds, green onions + salt

  4. 04

    pour the dressing over the cucumbers and gently toss until they’re completely coated

  5. 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.
