Spicy Cucumber Salad.

Nice quick and easy spicy cucumber salad.
Portion for 4-6.

Goes well with vodka and hot meat dish.

Ingredients:

• 6-8 small cucumbers
• 1 green chili pepper
• 1 red chili pepper
• 4-5 cloves of garlic
• Soy sauce – 4 tbs
• Sesame oil – 2 tbs
• Rice or Apple Cider vinegar – 2 tbs
• Salt – 1 tbs

Optional Ingredients:

• Sugar – 1 tea spoon
• Anice – 1/2 tea spoon
• Vodka – 1 tea spoon
• Ginger – minced – 1 tbs
• Sesame seeds – 1 tbs

Process:

• Wash the cucumbers
• Cut in half
• Remove the seeds
• Put cored cucumbers in a plastic bag and close it.
• Beat them with a wooden mincer or a hammer. Gently, the objective is to open them up a bit so don’t overdo and create a mass out of them.
• Take cucumbers out of the bag and cut diagonally into 1/4 inch thick slices.
• Place in a mixing bowl, salt and put the vinegar in.
• Mix well
• Set aside for at least 10 mins. Preferably 30.
• Cut peppers and garlic into small pieces.
• Drain the juice from the cucumbers once the time is up.
• Mix in peppers, garlic, soy sauce and sesame oil.
• If time allows – chill in the fridge for not more than 10 minutes otherwise serve as is.

Don’t keep it marinating for too long. The salad tastes best when the cucumbers are crispy.
