A refreshing Chinese cucumber salad made with garden-fresh cucumbers and a blend of savory flavors. This salad is complemented with black vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, and a kick of chili oil, making it a perfect side dish for dumplings or any meal.
1: Wash your cucumbers then slice off the ends.
2: Using either the handle of the knife or the flat side of a cleaver/large knife, smack down the cucumbers until they break open. Then cut into bite-sized pieces.
3: Add into a bowl and sprinkle some salt over to coat every piece. Set aside for 5 mins then rinse and drain well.
4: In another bowl, add in the vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, sweetener, garlic, and chili oil. Pour into the cucumbers and mix well to coat.
5: Refrigerate until ready to serve. (Let them sit for a while for better flavor.)
6: Transfer onto a plate, spoon on all of the sauce and garnish with sesame seeds and extra chili oil. Enjoy!
