So this is one of my wifes favorites... A simple cucumber salad. There is chinese vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, garlic and some hot oils traditionally... I added a homemade scallion oil, black sesame seeds and some crunchy shallots in hot oil.. Used a whole cucumber... Letting it sit for a bit and marinate. if we are still hungry, i will add some cold rice noodles to the leftover marinade.
So you can get a sense of "what lies beneath"
