Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Pounding the cucumbers instead of cutting them cleanly creates more surface area, allowing the seasoning to absorb much better.
  • Adding a touch of huazhou oil (sansho oil) at the end brings out the unique spicy aroma of Chinese cuisine, enhancing the exotic flavor.
  • After tasting, add a pinch of salt if the dish is too bland to suit your preference.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a refreshing, tangy-sweet side dish to stimulate the appetite.
  • People looking for a super simple recipe that takes only 10 minutes with no cooking required.
  • Those needing a clean, crunchy appetizer to pair with Chinese dishes.
