Accordion Cucumbers

Name: Accordion Cucumbers
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 1 Cucumber; 1 set Disposable wooden chopsticks

I improvised making accordion shaped pickled cucumbers. Pickling them is easy because the salt soaks in quickly.

Start by cutting diagonally and thinly. As for the cutting board, it should support the angle of the knife.
When cutting the opposite side, cut about 2 cm while gently shifting the cut side. Recipe by commeline

Steps

1

Don't cut the cucumber all the way to the bottom. Lay it on top of the chopsticks.
2

Balancing the cucumber on the chopsticks while cutting is difficult, so place one on the opposite side of cucumber and slice.
3

Flip the cucumbers and cut the same way as before, but this time place the chopstick in front of you. Since the cut side is on the bottom, cutting with one hand is difficult. If you're worried, put the chopstick on either side of the cucumber and cut down as if you're cutting the chopstick.
4

Cut off about 2 cm and use it for cooking. When rubbing in salt, since the accordion falls apart easily, soak the cucumber in salted water until tender. It's finished once the salt is evenly distributed and tastes slightly salty.

I also have a recipe for pickled vegetables.
