Servings 4 people

Equipment

  • Large Bowl
  • Small Bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 8 mini cucumbers
  • ¼ tsp kosher salt
  • 2 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp seasoned rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 Tbsp chili crisp
  • 1 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tsp grated ginger
  • 1 jalapeño thinly sliced
  • 3 scallions thinly sliced
  • 1 Tbsp sesame seeds plus more for garnish
  • Cilantro for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Using the back of your knife, smash the cucumbers in the same fashion as you would for garlic. Place in a large bowl and add salt. Stir and let sit while you prepare the dressing.
  • In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, chili crisp, brown sugar, and grated ginger.
  • Add jalapeños, scallions and sesame seeds to the bowl with the cucumbers. Pour dressing over and toss.
  • Serve immediately or allow to marinate in the fridge. It gets better as it sits! Garnish with cilantro leaves and more sesame seeds.
