By peeling the cucumbers, this becomes really colorful, but I didn't want to waste the peel so I added it to the marinade and it was delicious.
Chill well and serve. Recipe by kebeibiko

- 1
Use a vegetable peeler to peel the cucumbers and cut into three lengths, then in half. Place the cucumbers in a bag.
- 2
Finely chop the cucumber peels.
- 3
Finely slice, then julienne the ginger.
- 4
Heat a small frying pan over medium heat, add sesame oil, and add the cucumber peel from Step 2 and the Step 3 julienned ginger. Stir-fry until the cucumber peels become wilted.
- 5
Turn off the heat and add the * seasoning ingredients while still hot. Let sit until cooled.
- 6
While waiting for it to cool, cut the leek into 5 cm lengths, then cut each length in half lengthwise. Remove and finely chop the core.
- 7
Add to Step 5 and mix. Julienne the remaining white parts of the leek.
- 8
Put the julienned white parts of the leeks in a bowl of water and soak for 10 minutes, changing the water once. Drain.
- 9
Once Step 7 is cooled, pour in the cucumbers from Step 1 and lightly rub to mix. Close the bag, pushing out extra air, and chill in the refrigerator.

Let chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour (or a half a day). It's more delicious the longer it's chilled. Transfer to a dish, top with the leeks from Step 8 and it's done.

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.

That Sauce! Chinese-style Salt Cured Cucumbers
I wanted to make an easy-prep, salt-cured cucumber that even children would like. When I used the recipe with the seasoning from shirasu sauce, it turned out delicious. It's now one of my daughter's favorites. For those who like spice, add red chili peppers when curing.Thoroughly dissolve the sugar. Curing for 2 hours gives a perfect crunchiness and the cucumbers become well cured. If longer, the seasoning will blend in, but the crunchiness will disappear.If you peel the cucumbers a little, they will cure more evenly. Recipe by Tsukonindesumasu

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!

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..

Taiwanese-Style "Kyuchan" Cucumber Pickles
A long time ago, I bought a jar of pickled cucumbers in Taiwan and used them in many dishes, but since they are hard to find in Japan, I decided to make my own!After a lot of trial and error, I finally came up with this recipe!It tastes exactly like the real thing.-Remove the cucumbers from the sauce as soon as it comes to a boil. If they simmer too long, the texture will change, so be careful!-These will last for about a month, so I recommend making a large batch! For 1 jarful. Recipe by Mizorecchifan

Chinese Cucumber and Egg Stir-Fry
This is a standard Chinese home cooking recipe that I make all the time.My 2 year old son eats the cucumber only, and my 1 year old son eats the egg only. Just like nikujaga (Japanese meat and potatoes) in Japan, every family in China has a slightly different recipe for this. This one has a north-east China flavor.If you don't have any Sichuan pepper, you can substitute black pepper. But Sichuan pepper eggs are so delicious!Slice the cucumber thickly. Put a timer set to 1 minute as soon as you put the cucumber in the pan. The cucumbers taste better if they retain their crispy texture, so don't cook them for longer than a minute. For 1 plateful. Recipe by Beru
Wasabi Cucumbers
I learned this recipe from my grandparents. It's great for using up lots of cucumbers in the summer.1/2 teaspoon is on the low side, and I prefer about 1 teaspoon. This is best chilled. If the cucumbers look dirty after rolling them on the cutting board, wash them off and sprinkle with more salt. Recipe by Yuki

Quick Pickled Cucumbers
When I brought a bag of ten of these lightly pickled cucumbers to a barbecue they quickly disappeared.Add the ginger and sesame oil at least 10 minutes after you season the cucumber with salt to allow the cucumber flavour to shine through.When in a rush, you can use less salt than usual and add the sesame oil and ginger a bit earlier. Please adjust the pickling time according to the size of the cucumbers. For 1 bowl. Recipe by nabeko44kazu.

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 Shrimp and Cucumber Salt Stir-Fry
I order this frequently at restaurants.It's actually really simple and easy to make at home. You don't really see cucumber stir-fries in Japan, but in China, people make them regularly during the summer.The ratio of the katakuriko flour to the shrimp is 1 scant tablespoon to 100 g. Please adjust the amount of shrimp to your liking.Devein the shrimp with a toothpick if it bothers you. For 2 servings. Recipe by Beru
Chinese-Style Cold Tofu

Pickled Cucumber - Asian Cucumber Salad
I'm sharing another pickled cucumber recipe, which is also easy and quick to make. As long as you have all the ingredients at home, you can prepare this dish in half an hour. You can serve this dish after marinating it for 30 minutes, but the longer you marinate it, the more flavorful it'll get. Make sure you keep the pickled cucumber in the refrigerator. And I recommend finishing it within 5 days. This pickled cucumber can be served as an appetizer or a side with any meaty or hearty dish. The refreshing and crunchy cucumber will cut right through the grease. Instruction video (https://youtu.be/TYnfn6JIJew)

Everyone in my family loved this dish!Although using a plastic bag would pickle more evenly, I make and serve it in a Tupperware. The longer the pickling, the better the flavor.When pickling for a long time, it's good to add ichimi chili pepper powder before serving. Recipe by Team yokin
