Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Avoid slicing cucumbers too thinโ€”this will destroy their signature crisp texture. Aim for a thickness of 6โ€“7mm.
  • Stir-frying over low or medium heat for too long causes moisture to release, making the cucumbers slimy. Always use high heat for a short time to keep them crisp.
  • Leaving cooked cucumbers in the hot pan can cause discoloration and softening due to residual heat. Always transfer them promptly to a wide plate and cool immediately.

Recommended for

  • Those looking to enjoy a savory, unique cucumber stir-fry instead of the usual cucumber salad.
  • People who want a light, refreshing side dish that preserves the satisfying crunch of cucumbers.
  • Home cooks who want to make a delicious homemade side dish within 30 minutes using common pantry staples like cucumbers and soybean paste.
