Sung Si-kyung's Chinese-Style Cucumber Salad

A sweet, tangy, and crunchy Chinese-style cucumber salad made by smashing cucumbers with a mallet and tossing them with garlic, vinegar, sugar, and fermented anchovy sauce.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Smashing the cucumbers instead of cutting them neatly creates rough, uneven surfaces that absorb the seasoning much better.
  • Make sure to thoroughly drain the liquid released after salting the cucumbers to prevent the seasoning from becoming diluted and to maintain a strong flavor.
  • Because of its strong sweet and tangy profile, this dish pairs best with rich, heavily seasoned meat dishes like braised pig's trotters rather than plain noodles.

Recommended for

  • Those who need a refreshing side dish to brighten the palate when eating rich meat dishes.
  • Those who want a super simple Chinese-style side dish that can be made in 10 minutes without using any heat.
