It''s not so much a recipe as a method.
Take cucumber(s) and bash (not too hard) with the back of a cleaver or similar to break the flesh, then slice into large bite size pieces. Mix one part finely chopped garlic, 1 part light soy sauce, 2 parts rice vinegar (I use black but white is OK, too) and two parts Sichuan chili oil. Some people like to add sugar, too. I don't. Use this mixture to dress the cucumber. I usually garnish with a chili or two.
