Ilse's Spicy Chinese Cucumber Salad

Personal Note

At Conscious Kitchen we often receive A LOT of cucumbers from the market, enough even to take home even after a number of them have been used for cooking. And I have always taken a lot of those home, only to realise that I had no clue what to do with them, and that, after weeks of eating cucumbers, was kind of getting bored of the flavour. Thus I went online and started to look for inspiration to make some new recipes with these cucumbers. The following recipe has been inspired by a recipe of the foodblog China Sichuan Food.

​

Ingredients and Method

1 cucumber

3 cloves garlic

1 tbsp black vinegar

1 tbsp soy sauce

0.5 tbsp sugar

0.5 sesame oil

1 teaspoon of white sesame seeds

0.5 tbsp chili oil (or more depending on taste)

Sprinkle of salt (depending on taste)

​

  1. Clean the cucumber, scrape the skin off and cut it into cubes.

  2. Peel and crush the cloves of garlic with a garlic press

  3. Mix the cucumber cubes and the garlic in a bowl

  4. Add the black vinegar, soy sauce , sesame oil and chili oil and mix it through the cucumber with a spoon

  5. Add the salt and sesame seed and mix it through the bowl

  6. Serve!
