Looks delicious. I'm a chef at an Italian restaurant but I love cooking asian cuisine. Your channel has taught me a lot.

I made it and it taste delicious I lived 8 years in china and now I'm back in to my country and I miss food do much, this brought me good memories, thank you for sharing this recipe!

You are awesome just like your recipes! Thank you Mandy!🤗

A perfect summer salad! It would be great with grilled meats. Yummy!!!

Omg! I had a cucumber that was on its last leg. I used this recipe and so happened to have black vinegar. It was amazing!! This will be a staple in my house!

This is one of my favorite sides to eat during summer. I'm going to keep this recipe in mind when the nearby farm stand opens up. They always have amazing cucumbers that I can't get the same at any grocery store. I do have a really good Chinese black vinegar at home; I have found though that balsamic is a little closer in flavor, or if someone has both, maybe a 50/50 balsamic-apple cider blend. Black vinegar has a great flavor, and given that it has a near indefinite shelf life I would certainly encourage folks to get their hands on some, but not pass on this recipe if not!

I've made this salad and eaten it restaurants many times. Last week I had this salad last in a Chinese restaurant and they didn't smash it. I quickly realised that the reason for smashing it isn't only for the flavour to absorb into the cucumber better, but also so that one can grab it with chopsticks better. It was impossible without smashed edges!

OMG! Thank you! Thank you! I spent a couple of years going to China often, for work. And of all the amazing food I ate there, this cucumber salad is one of the things I missed the most! I can't believe im now making it at home! Thanks to you!!!🙏🏼 I always wondered what they did to the cucumber to give it that texture! Its amazing!🥰🥰 Thanks again!!

Mandy, you're always on time! I love your channel and recipes. You remind me a lot of my best friend growing up. May you live long and heathy... and be lucky and make lots of money! Love you!

Thanks Mandy for the recipe. I gave it a try, and love it..!

Also a good substitute for zhenjiang black vinegar is balsamic vinegar. They are kind of similar in character and taste. Great recipe Mandy.

Perfect timing. I was reviewing cucumber salad recipes for dinner! Thank you.

Yum!!! I love all the different ways you can make cucumber. It never ceases to amaze me! This looks delicious!

I love cucumber salad! I can't wait to try this take on it.

Hey I'm new to your channel. I tried this recipe I ate every bite lol. I haven't enjoyed cucumbers for many years. This is one I will make again and again. I also made your shrimp and broccoli so good. I had a carbon steel wok that I used several times but everything stuck to the pan. I followed your steps and wow amazing non stick. thanks for doing your channel and I'm so glad I found it.

This is a recipe I've been making for a long time! I LOVE it, it's so easy, bright, and fresh tasting, it goes really well with richer dishes like red braised meats.

This was delicious and so easy to make! Thank you!❤

Yess mandy slay the house

I' ve just made it and it is absolutely delicious ! plus it's super easy to make so thank you very much for this recipe !

Nice n simple. Looks yummy.

Nice! I'll be making this when the weather gets warmer (it's a bit chilly today). Thank you Mandy!

Making it now. Thanks 👍

Mandy you are just the best!! Greetings from Slovenia 🇸🇮/ 🇪🇺 .

Perfect for summer!

I love smashed cucumber salad. Very refreshing. I get it everytime I order Chinese food.

Very yummy. Thank you!

Love it, thank you mandy x

My favorite. Even in different variations.

My favorite Chef for Chinese food recipes. She always looks as great as her dishes. Thanks for another great tip. Crushing cucumbers, who would have thought of that.

Super easy! I'll give it a try!

Thanks so much for this recipe! I can’t wait to try it with cucumbers from the summer farmer’s market. I can almost always find black vinegar at H Mart or other Asian supermarkets, sometimes it’s called Chinkiang vinegar. It is such an amazing flavor, I highly encourage anyone making this recipe to try to seek it out.

I just made it today. Is so good,I eat myself a whole salad :-) and I made another batch for my partner.

Yum, thanks!!

Mandy this is my favorite salad. Awesome job smashing that cucumber. Have a great day.

thank you for giving it in fnglish. very good

Woow Fantastic the cucumber salad thy you made! You seasoned perfectly! Love it! 🦇

Looks nice

Ok, all I can say is YUM! I can't wait to make this tonight for dinner, to go with our marinated pork. Thanks Mandy, keep up the great job you are doing.

Delicious i can not eat another cucumber salad recipe since i use this one love it 🥰

I get food boxes from the local community garden and they always give a huge amount of certain veggies. Right now I have TEN cucumbers😮 we can only have so many sandwiches 😂 this looks delicious and I can easily use 3 or 4 for a family meal side🎉 Thanks, girl!❤

I love cucumber salads, what a pleasant video, Mandy. I can't eat spicy food, but I have chinese black vinegar. I have all the ingredients in my home so I'll try it in the next meal. :D Thank you

Looks so yummy...😋😋😋

Thank you .... tasty

Love it thank you very much Mindy 🤍🤍

Nice on a summer's day.

Yummy!

Looks great! Thanks for a vegan recipe!😊🌱

Thanks Mandy.

one of my fav chinese appetizers, and yes especially when cucumbers are smashed

I have Stones from the garden 😁😁, works for me I use them for hamburger press and meats 😁. Lol. Yummies 😍

That knife set is looks great. I wanna go check it out

Nice recipe. Actually my parents make this for the summer during those hot days

Yummy !!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Looks so yunmy... 😋😋😋

These are great! I have seen so many... (2023)... thanks again!! :)

Wow! I've NEVER known about beating up a cucumber! 😅 Makes sense, though..... That will allow the seasonings to soak into the cucumber. 🥒 I'll definitely use the english cucumber. ✅ Thank you, Mandy. ❤

Resep yang mudah terimakasih kaka

thax very nice and yumy😊

Yum!

As Mandy said don’t mix until ready to eat. I’ve made mistake by preparing it early and eating much later. Cucumber will continue to release liquid so dressing gets diluted

my fave thing

im from srilanka....Actually your recipes are woooowwwwww Woooowwwwww woooowwwwww thanks a lot dr

Looking forward to making this for those hot days

Souped Up Recipes where did you purchase the small white garlic grater?

It looks simple and delicious! Right on time for the summer :)

I'll try the cucumber salt too. Best Regards from Austria

oh hell yeah

I hate cucumber but I'll watch you make anything lol❤

I will love try this cucumber salad I’ll always eat cucumber for my dinner just raw

I always use apple cider vinegar and it tastes awesome

I imagine this cucumber recipe going well with grilled meat or fish👍🏻👍🏻

I have always disliked cucumbers but this is 🤤 I’ve made everyone I know try it now ahah

I'm gonna make this for the next potluck.

Nice. I think I will add some cherry tomatoes into the mix!

I want more of your 3 course dinner

❤❤❤ God bless you Sister. 🤍🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

its even better in a day or two after making. IMO

Looks delish

I use Zhenjiang vinegar and didn't use sesame oil。But I think I will put some sesame oil in from now on.

you are so good :)

Oops, just saw the comment below. Mixed and placed in fridge. Still delicious but gets too wet if you mix way before eating. Won't make that mistake next time. Thanks for a tasty recipe.

Nice stay connected from rizwan ukpk 🇬🇧

i have a peculiar request, is there a cucumber salad that is not spicey? im allergic to chilis in any context

The black vinegar you use, is that Zhen Jiang vinegar?

Love it! Where can I purchase the salad bowl?

Her laugh @ 3:15... 👍

nice, why no hot oil on top?

Everytime I make this, I eat too much of it. It's so refreshing with the bbq meat my husband likes to cook.

sweetie, I'm from Australia, so please tell me what is that thing hanging above your cook top? we don't have that here 😃

Good Girl

Would you please tell me what kind of oil you usually use? We want to make the Sesame Chicken, Broccoli Beef, Pepper Beef, etc. Is there a certain type of oil you prefer? Thank you ! We are looking forward to trying your recipes. They look amazing.
