Broken Up Cucumber with Sesame Vinegar
cookpad.japan @cookpad_jp
I bought some really fresh cucumbers, so I thought up this recipe.
This is good with ground sesame seeds, but by using toasted whole sesame seeds, you can enjoy the fresh taste of the cucumber. The fragrant nuttiness of the sesame seeds fills your mouth as you chew the rough bits of cucumber. Fellow COOKPAD user "youichie" reminded me that this tastes better if you let it rest for a while to let the flavors meld. Also, user "riebel's" comment made me think of this: the sesame vinegar gets watered down by the moisture in the cucumber to the point where you can drink it up, but if you're in a situation where that would be rather impolite, reserve the sesame seeds and scatter on the cucumber just before serving to prevent it from going to waste.

Octopus and Cucumber in Mildly Sour Vinegar
Three of us in my family love Kaborin's cucumber vinegar dish, but my husband isn't the biggest fan. My version came about when I secretly added shiro-dashi for him.Kaborin, you are amazing! :)Mind you don't boil the octopus too much. It's also good with squid.For an even more nutritious version, try topping it with white sesame, wakame seaweed or seasonal vegetables. Recipe by Team yokin
Cucumbers Marinated in Sweet Vinegar
My mother used to make this every summer. It's a family favorite.I simply cut up the cucumber roughly, but my mother like to make thin slices into it so it would resemble an accordion. The marinade can be reused as a salad dressing or sauce if it hasn't gotten too watery. Recipe by Setsumika
Chinese-style Cucumber and Imitation Crab in Vinegar Sauce
I think that vinegar dishes taste great in the summer. I substituted the sesame oil from the cucumber vinegar dish that I normally make with mustard, and made a Chinese-style version.Make sure to check the flavor before serving it. Add salt if it is weak, or add a little water if it is too strong. It also tastes great if you substitute mustard for julienned or grated ginger. Recipe by Iku..

Pounded Cucumber Sprinkled with Sesame Salt
Pen Pen (my 4-year-old) says that cucumbers are too tough to chew... hard to relate for us adults. So, I attempted to recreate a pounded cucumber recipe that I tried once at a Japanese pub! For kids, I omit the garlic and ginger. I had Pen Pen pound the cucumber with a rolling pin. The cucumbers had a different texture that was apparently refreshing.When serving to adults, I recommend 1/2 a clove grated garlic and a touch of grated ginger...Increasing the salt content may help to prevent heat exhaustion. Recipe by Penpen mama
Cucumber with Umeboshi
I received a lot of cucumbers, and while I ate them in the form of salads and pickles, I got tired of those dishes, so I tried making this.Adding bonito dashi stock granules deepens the flavours of the dish.It's alright to use regular sesame seeds instead of roasted ones. Try adding a little sesame oil to enjoy a different taste.Alternatively, julienning or roughly cubing the cucumbers and eating them with cold tofu or noodles is also delicious. Recipe by unihotate

Easy cucumber tomato salad
I don't like too tangy of cucumber salad. This salad is just right but I am sure that if it is too tangy you could add more water and if it is not tangy enough just add more vinegar.
Honey Vinegar Miso Chicken and Cucumber
This is a remake of a recipe from "Stock and Remake for Quick Summer Dishes". If you make the Honey Vinegar Miso Chicken Breasts -, then you can use it for dinner or bento lunch boxes for the next day. Very convenient!Use your thumbs and pointer fingers on both hands to firmly massage the whole of the chicken breast, and break up into large pieces for a soft texture. Put this over somen noodles for Chinese-style. You can also substitute boiled cabbage for the cucumber! Recipe by Mizkan

Cucumber with umeboshi
This is the type of food that you expect to see at izakakaya restaurants as appetizer called “otooshi”. While you look at the menu thinking what to order, you get something to munch on. Isn’t it great?!
Japanese Smashed Cucumber with Umeboshi
This refreshing side dish combines crisp smashed cucumbers with the tangy punch of umeboshi. The natural sourness of pickled plums not only adds depth of flavor but also awakens your taste buds and lifts your spirits. A perfect, energizing bite on warm days or when you need a quick pick-me-up.

The only thing i do differently on the recipe is i use one large seedless cucumber, around 12" and omit the tomatoes. Very tasty side dish, enjoy!
Cucumber Pickles
I adopted a recipe that I saw in a book about 10 years ago.※ If you can, use premade pickling spice to make authentic and spicy pickles. But if you cannot find it, use a mixture of 5 grains of black pepper corn, 1 red chili pepper, and 1 bay leaf.※ You can eat it on the first day, but it's best after 3 days. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221
Vinegar, Bread, and Cucumbers
It may not be for everyone, but we like it if you think the vinegar is to much cut back to half.
Chinese-Style Spicy Marinated Cucumbers
I wanted to eat pickled cucumbers that were not Japanese-style, so I made them spicy by adding ra-yu spicy chili sesame oil.This is simple, so I don't have tips. But if you lett the flavours blend for a long time, go easy on the chili oil and the soy sauce etc... Mix the cucumbers and pickling sauce while pickling in the Tupperware about halfway through.

Easy! Cucumber With Konbu and Garlic
I mixed cucumbers with konbu-cha to prepare instant pickles, but I thought it might also make a good little appetizer if I also added garlic.Water will come out of the cucumbers over time, so mix in the konbu-cha and garlic just before serving. Recipe by Poron526
Cucumber ~ Tomato Salad
A light "chunky" side dish to compliment most grilled BBQ meals or serve with Italian dishes. The fresh basil gives it a nice flavor. Add a “hint of mint” (instead of basil) and black olives for a slight, cool refreshing taste, especially with Mediterranean dishes of lamb, grilled chorizo and/or seafood.
Time-Saving Cucumber, Wakame Seaweed and Shirasu Vinegar Toss
Since I have little time but want to serve up enough variety at the table, I tend to stick to quick dishes.Since shirasu is also good as a first food for babies, I can kill two birds with one stone!!For those who prefer a sweeter taste, add more sugar. For 2-3 servings. Recipe by Mikkumiku mama
