Sweet and Sour Cucumber Salad

This has a light spiciness to it, but if you like it even more, adding a few flakes of crushed red pepper makes an interesting addition to this salad.

Ingredients

  • 1 cucumber
  • 1 tsp of salt
  • 2 tsp of granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp of rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp of hot chili oil
  • 1 tbsp of dark sesame oil
Directions:
Peel the cucumber and halve lengthwise (scrape out the seeds and cut into thick chunks)
Place chunks into a bowl and sprinkle with the salt
Mix together the sugar, rice vinegar, chili oil, and sesame oil in a small dish
Add mixture to cucumbers, and stir until cucumbers are evenly coated
Refrigerate for 30 minutes
Serve chilled
