My Scrumptious Cucumber

I measured the ingredients I use for the cucumber with sesame seeds I make all the time to turn it into a proper recipe.I removed the seeds from the cucumber to enjoy its crispy crunchy texture, but you can omit that step if you like. Recipe by Snow*Love

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.

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)

Cucumber has a lot of moisture, so adding boiled egg helps to release water. It leaves the flavor of egg, at the same time, giving body to the taste and a plain flavor.

I made this when I was out of dressing. It was really good, so I've been relying on it ever since.This is also good with mizuna greens or green bell peppers instead of cucumber.If you leave it standing for too long the tofu will start to exude moisture, so I recommend making it just before you plan to eat it.

★Thank you for 3,000 reports★ Dice the tomatoes and use them in the dressing for a deli-style salad! Even less-than-perfect tomatoes become delicious.The origin of this recipeWhen tomatoes on sale aren't very tasty, I turn them into this tomato dressing and mix with seasonal vegetables (like onions, cucumbers, mizuna, etc.). Overripe tomatoes with too much moisture also transform deliciously with this method.★If using cabbage, salt it and squeeze it tightly by hand.
