A chilled sesame salad of spiralized cucumber. It reminds me of the seaweed salad you get at Japanese restaurants, but just with cucumbers.
Ingredients
- 2 English cucumbers, peeled
- 1 teaspoon salt, divided, or to taste
- 2 tablespoons garlic-seasoned rice wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon white sugar
- ¼ teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
Directions
Step 1
Cut cucumbers into long, thin noodle shapes using a spiralizer set to the thinnest setting.
Step 2
Place cucumber noodles in a fine-mesh strainer set over a bowl. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and toss until combined. Let cucumber stand until moisture is drawn out, about 30 minutes.
Step 3
Whisk rice vinegar, sesame oil, soy sauce, and sugar together in a bowl until sugar is dissolved. Add cucumber; toss gently until coated. Season with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt; sprinkle with sesame seeds.
