This cool, tasty crab and cucumber salad is lightly pickled in rice vinegar, an Asian-style vinegar that’s milder than distilled or balsamic. It makes a perfect side dish or appetizer. Serve with steamed white rice and a cup of fresh green tea.
Ingredients
- 1 large English cucumber, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 (8 ounce) package imitation crab sticks, halved
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds, or to taste
Directions
Step 1
Lay cucumber slices onto a large plate and sprinkle with salt on both sides. Set aside until water is drawn from the cucumbers, about 15 minutes. Brush salt from cucumbers and dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Step 2
Combine cucumbers, crab sticks, rice vinegar, and soy sauce in a glass bowl; toss to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours.
Step 3
Divide cucumber salad onto four plates; sprinkle each portion with sesame seeds.
Tips
In place of imitation crab, you can use 8 ounces of cooked, peeled, deveined shrimp.
