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

Steps
- 1
Lightly salt and gently roll cucumber on a cutting board.
- 2
Slice the cucumber into 2-3 mm rounds, cutting almost all the way through but leaving them attached on one side. Don't worry if you cut all the way through.
- 3
With the attached side on the bottom, slice lengthwise.
- 4
Cut into 2-3 cm sections and place in water (lightly salted to taste).
- 5
Drain and arrange on a serving platter. I served them with a miso dip.
