@daisy.foodjournal: 🥒 🥗 I promise you this is the best cucumber salad recipe!!! It’s more of a cold dish or appetizer type dish in China, and it’s called 拍黄瓜(Pāi Huángguā), which literally translates to Smashed Cucumber. It’s so simple and convenient, but everything blends so well together, making it one of my favorite summer dishes. 🌼 Ingredients: Cucumber (preferably mini cucumbers) 5-8 cloves of garlic Optional Thai chili For seasonings, you also need: light soy sauce, Chine black vinegar (or other kinds of vinegar), sesame oil, chili oil, salt, and sugar. 🌼 Instructions: 1. Smash the cucumber with the knife. Don’t smash it to be all broken, slightly cracked so the juice can better wrap around the cucumber. Cut them into smaller pieces. Add in some salt to “slightly pickle” them for 5 mins. Drain the water out when it’s done. 2. Meanwhile, chop some Thai chili, and mash some garlic. 3. Combine everything in a big bowl and season it with: 1 tbsp vinegar, 1 tsp soy sauce, 1 tsp sugar, 2 tbsp chili oil (I used chili crunchy onion from @traderjoes ) and a dash of sesame oil. 4. Mix it well and enjoy 😉 Fun fact: my grandma used to make this when I spent summer vacation at her house almost every day! That is probably why I love this dish so much - it tastes like home. hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do! Thank you for your support here and I can’t wait to see how you make this recipe. Stay tuned and stay connected with me! #chinesefood #chineserecipe #easychinesecooking #easychineserecipe #easymeal #chinesehomecooking #chinesesalad #cucumbersalad #smashedcucumber
