Hot and sour cucumber strips

Hot and sour cucumber strips

Cucumber batons get a salty pre-soak, a careful rinse, then a bold tumble in sugar, vinegar, chili oil, and fragrant sesame.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Wash the cucumber and cut it into strips, sprinkle with salt, and let it marinate for twenty to thirty minutes. I marinated it a bit longer, so it's salty, haha.

    After pickling, rinse repeatedly with clean water. Drain.

    Add white sugar, I used a small seasoning spoon, a full six spoons (I had previously added three spoons, not sweet enough, hehe, I love sweets). One tablespoon of chili oil, three tablespoons of vinegar, two tablespoons of light soy sauce (note it is light soy sauce, not regular soy sauce), and then a little sesame oil. After mixing the seasonings well, marinate for another half hour to let the flavors soak in...
