I tried to recreate a side dish that I ate in a Benitora gyoza dumpling restaurant.

I changed the tool for pounding from a knife to a rolling pin (users were rightly saying that it's dangerous!). I used a small rolling pin that I would normally use to roll out gyoza dumpling wrappers. Recipe by Setsubunhijiki

Steps

1

Pound the cucumber with a rolling pin (as if you are trying to crack it from end to end) and break up into bite-sized pieces with your hands.
2

Crush the garlic with a rolling pin. Place the rolling pin on top of the garlic, press down, and chop into small pieces.
3

Add the cucumber to a bowl, sprinkle over some salt and give a quick toss. Leave for a while until the moisture leaks out of the cucumber pieces, tip the bowl to one side and discard the liquid.
4

Add the garlic to the sesame oil and mix everything together. Chill well in the fridge, then serve.
