This Chinese smashed cucumber salad is a refreshing side dish. Crispy cucumber pieces are tossed in a garlicky and tangy sauce.
FULL RECIPE: healthynibblesandbits.com/chi...
Ingredients
Chili Oil
3 cloves garlic, minced (about 4 teaspoons)
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons chili flakes
2 tablespoons gochugaru (Korean pepper flakes)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/3 cup oil (can be vegetable, grapeseed, or any neutral oil)
Cucumber Salad
1 to 1 1/4 pounds cucumbers
small pinch of kosher salt (1/4 to 1/2 tsp)
3 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons chili oil with spices
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons sesame oil
toasted sesame seeds for garnish
You do not need to rinse the cucumbers after you salt them. If you're conscious about your salt intake, you can reduce the amount of soy sauce slightly.

Just a subscribed after watching just one video of yours. You have a great talent for explaining things and just a great orator overall. I loved how you included the temperature the oil should be, and then also explained why bothering to take the temperature is even important. Someone like me learns better when the whys of things are explained. I like to try new things and venture off instructions to figure things out the best for myself, but often times that means making mistakes that could have been avoided if I fully understood why the recommendation was made. Many things in cooking are flexible and to preference, but no one wants burnt to a crisp pepper flakes. I wouldn’t have thought about that as I generally don’t need a thermometer to cook, but they do come in very handy sometimes. I definitely get better frying/done-ness results when I actually know what the temp of the oil is. Looking forward to watching more of your work. Well done!

Excellent! Easy & tasty, just fantastic! As a Japanese, familiar with cucumber recipes, fermented in particular. This is new & immediately became fond of it. "Smashed" does a trick. It'd go pretty well with ochazuke (rice bowl + Japanese tea)! A super appetizer. Thanks!

Thank you; I loved this recipe. Just a short note: To zest means scrape off the outer colored part of the peel of (a piece of citrus fruit) for use as flavouring. Using the microplane with the garlic means you are "mincing" it.

@hellolisalin 11 ай бұрын

That's true, I shouldn't have used zest! I think perhaps "grating" the garlic is better than mincing though?

Wonderful salad! How about adding Chinkiang vinegar instead?

@hellolisalin 2 жыл бұрын

Totally works too! It's a bit stronger so I'd probably start with slightly less Chinkiang vinegar and then add more to suit your taste.

Do you have to use vegetable oil? I have olive oil 🤔

@hellolisalin 3 жыл бұрын

It's fine to use olive oil. The flavor profile is just a little more peppery, but if you don't mind that, then go for it.
