A Chinatown Appetizer: Special Sichuan Cucumbers
This dish may not be well known in Japan, but it's famous in China. It's very simple but refreshing and delicious.
Adjust the spiciness with the amount of doubanjiang you add.
I didn't invent this decorative cutting method. It's a traditional Chinese professional cutting technique called "the returning sparrow", and pros can make the cuts much thinner and more evenly. I'm so envious, but that's beyond my skills! Recipe by Kajinnodanna

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Choose a cucumber that is as straight.
- 2
Place a chopstick on either side of the cucumber as shown. Make thin slices in the cucumber perpendicular to it up to the chopsticks.
- 3
Turn the cucumber over, and set the chopsticks on both sides again.
- 4
Place the uncut side of the cucumber up, and make thin 45 degree cuts along it up to the chopsticks. The knife blade is not flat, it's vertical.
- 5
Even if it's sliced from top and bottom, the middle is still barely connected. It's easier to eat than my previous version.
- 6
Bend the cucumber as if a dragon is curling up.
- 7
Mix the ★ ingredients together and put the curled up cucumber into it. Chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours and it's done.

Cucumber Yogurt Appetizer Cucumber Yogurt Appetizer
An appetizer is one of the essential menus for our family. But sometimes, an appetizer or salad also becomes our main menu when it comes to us on a diet mode.An appetizer also another quick and simple healthy food for the people on a diet and reducing the carbs. An appetizer or salad can replace the carbs from the main menu. This recipe I expand from my mother in law recipes. In Turkish, we called it "Cacık ." It is like Ayran (buttermilk) drinks, but if ayran is bare, it is making from water, yogurt, and salt. But for Cacık, some more fresh ingredients are added, like cucumber and dry mint. But in this recipe I share, this is not Cacik, not Ayran, because I didn't add the water, so it is a pure appetizer, not drinks.Bon appetite, and Happy trying!

For an Appetizer or Bento Dish Wasabi & Cheese Chinese Cabbage Meat Rolls For an Appetizer or Bento Dish Wasabi & Cheese Chinese Cabbage Meat Rolls
I wanted to make the most out of Chinese cabbage that's often left over from hot pot made the night before, so I made this easy dish.Since the cheese is so rich, I think it's best to use a larger amount of wasabi for the bite. The amount of time it takes to cook the pork will depend on your microwave, so pay attention while it's cooking. Recipe by Necchan -

Lotus Root and Olive Appetizer Curry Mustard Lotus Root and Olive Appetizer Curry Mustard
I wanted to make a Western-style dish with lotus roots, and I also wanted to use up the olives I had lying round.This easy tapas-style appetizer is great when you need one more dish for a meal.When prepping the lotus root, peel it, then soak it in vinegar water to avoid any discoloring. Step 2: Please test the texture of the lotus roots midway and adjust it to your liking.Step 3: You only need a tiny amount of the curry powder.Use green or black olives, whichever you'd prefer.
