Seonkyoung Longest's Chinese-Style Cucumber Salad

A crisp, sweet-and-sour Chinese-style cucumber salad made by smashing cucumbers with the side of a knife so the dressing seeps into every crevice.

Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • If smashing cucumbers with the side of a knife feels unsafe, use a rolling pin or the bottom of a heavy pan instead.
  • Removing excess moisture from the cucumber seeds prevents the dressing from becoming watery and keeps the salad crisp.
  • You can substitute minced onion or scallions for the shallot. For extra refreshment, chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes before serving.

Recommended for

  • Those looking for a refreshing, crunchy side dish to accompany rich main courses or barbecue.
  • Those who want to enjoy a traditional Chinese-style cucumber salad where the dressing deeply penetrates the cucumber, rather than just slicing it.
