Cooking tips
- Scraping out the cucumber seeds with a teaspoon prevents excess liquid from forming after preparation and keeps the crunchiness for a long time.
- Do not salt the cucumbers beforehand; using them fresh and un-salted preserves their natural cool and refreshing texture.
- Using double-strength vinegar instead of regular vinegar provides sufficient sourness with less liquid, preventing the salad from becoming watery.
Recommended for
- For those who want to whip up a cool and refreshing dish in 10 minutes without using any heat during the hot summer.
- For those who enjoy a tangy, sharp mustard cold salad that instantly revives a lost appetite.
- For those who want to learn a clean cucumber and crab stick dish that doesn't get watery over time.
