Ingredients

  • ½ pound Persian cucumbers sliced ½ in thick
  • ½ tablespoon kosher salt
  • 2-3 cloves garlic sliced thin or minced
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 6 green onions chopped
  • ½ cup rice vinegar plus more as needed
  • 1 jalapeño sliced thin seeds removed for less spice.
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon low sodium soy sauce
  • ½ teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place cut cucumbers in a colander set over a bowl, sprinkle with kosher salt and give a quick toss to make sure it’s evenly coated. Let sit 30 minutes.
  2. Rinse cucumber under running water, remove excess water by placing cucumbers on a towel to blot dry.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine cucumbers and remaining ingredients. Stir to coat. The liquid should cover the cucumbers entirely. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Notes

  • I like to use Persian cucumbers as they don't usually have seeds. You might also find English or Hothouse cucumbers, which are very similar.
