Using a vegetable peeler strip your cucumber in 4 strips and slice off the ends and then cut in half.

Slice the cucumbers into very thin strips. Then place in a bowl and sprinkle with salt, and stir well. Set aside until needed.

In a small bowl combine the sugar, ginger, soy sauce and vinegar. Whisk together until well all combined.

Toss the cucumbers with the sauce and stir well. Place in the fridge to chill for 1 hour before serving.
