Below are four easy steps to help you create a delicious cucumber salad:
Ingredients:
- 3-4 cucumbers
- 1 bunch of cilantro, mint leaves
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 chili pepper
- 1/2 carrot
- 1/2 lemon
- 100g roasted peanuts
- 1 tablespoon sugar, fish sauce
- Salt
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the cucumbers
- Wash the cucumbers and soak them in a brine solution for 15 minutes. Rinse and pat dry.
- Cut the cucumbers in a way that maximizes their surface area, which will help absorb the flavors better.
- Place the sliced cucumbers in a bowl and add a pinch of salt. Gently toss to coat and let it sit for 15 minutes. Drain any excess liquid to ensure a dry and flavorful salad.
Step 2: Prepare the herbs and spices
- Finely chop the green onions, cilantro, chili pepper, and garlic.
- Roast the peanuts if not already roasted.
Step 3: Make the dressing (including chili oil)
- Prepare white sesame seeds and chili powder (adjust the amount to your taste preference)
- Heat oil in a pan
- Pour the hot oil over the chili powder and sesame seeds. Be careful not to use too much oil, just enough to cover them.
- Add 7 tablespoons of cold vinegar, 1 tablespoon each of cooking wine, pepper oil, and soy sauce to make approximately 150ml of chili oil.
Step 4: Mix everything together
Combine all the ingredients, including the dressing, and toss well. Your cucumber salad is now ready to be served!
