Broken Up Cucumber with Sesame Vinegar
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.

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 -

Pounded Cucumber Sprinkled with Sesame Salt 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.
