When I used to live alone, I ate cucumbers all the time since they were cheap and I loved them. This is one of those recipes. I'm rather nostalgic for those days, when my friends and I used to eat meals together.

Ingredients

  1. 3Cucumbers
  2. 1Salt
  3. 3 tbspSoy sauce
  4. 1 dashRa-yu
  5. 2 tspSesame oil

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Slice the cucumbers about 2 cm thick. Sprinkle evenly with salt to draw out the moisture, and put into a plastic container or ziplock bag.

  2. 2

    Drain off the moisture after 30 minutes. Mix with soy sauce, ra-yu and sesame oil. (Adjust the amounts to taste!)

  3. 3

    It will be mildly spicy at this point, so if you want it spicier add the dried chili pepper, de-seeded and ripped up. (If you add the seeds it will become spicy!)

  4. 4

    Cover the cucumber with plastic wrap and put a weight on top. If you use a plate, you can put other items in the refrigerator on top of it to act as additional weights.

  5. 5

    Leave to rest in the refrigerator overnight before serving.
