Cucumber Slicing Technique for a Lively Texture
The texture of cucumber improves with this cutting technique.
If the cucumbers are thin, you can omit Step 3. Modify this recipe as you wish; it also works with daikon radish or carrots. In Step 4, lightly salt the water to taste. This method of cutting also works well with pickles; just make sure that you handle the cucumbers gently since they break apart easily. Recipe by Mikki-an
