Ingredients
Main Ingredients (2 servings)
- Cucumbers 3 (280g)
- Scallion 30g
Seasonings
- [A] Dashida 2 tsp
- [A] Soy sauce 2 tsp
- [A] Sugar 1 pinch
- [A] Black pepper to taste
- Sesame oil to taste
- Chili oil to taste
- Lemon juice to taste (for flavor change)
Steps
- Cut off the ends of 3 cucumbers.
- Using chopsticks, make diagonal accordion cuts into the cucumbers.
- Flip the cucumbers and make diagonal accordion cuts in the same way. 【Tip!】 Accordion cuts allow the flavor to penetrate easily and improve the texture. Using chopsticks makes it easy to cut without slicing all the way through.
- Cut the accordion-sliced cucumbers into bite-sized pieces.
- Place the cut 3 cucumbers (280g) into a bowl.
- Finely mince 30g of scallion.
- To the bowl with the cucumbers, add 2 tsp of Dashida, 2 tsp of soy sauce, the minced 30g of scallion, and 1 pinch of sugar.
- Add black pepper to taste (about 3 times more than you think). 【Tip!】 Since garlic is not used in this recipe, adding extra black pepper gives it a good kick.
- Squeeze and massage well, removing air from the mixture.
- Place the massaged cucumbers into a bag, removing the air, and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. 【Tip!】 Marinating with the air removed allows the flavor to penetrate thoroughly in a short time. It can be eaten after 15 minutes, but 30 minutes is even better.
- Serve the marinated cucumbers on a plate and drizzle with sesame oil to taste.
- If you like spicy food, drizzle with chili oil to taste instead of sesame oil.
- For a change of flavor, drizzle with a little lemon juice to taste, if desired.
