Ingredients
- 1 pound cucumber about two medium cucumbers*
- 2-3 medium carrots peeled and grated
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon light soy sauce**
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger root
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- 1 garlic clove minced or pressed
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes or to taste***
- kosher salt
Instructions
- Peel the cucumber leaving alternating green stripes. Cut each cucumber in half and use a spiralizer fitted with the flat blade to slice into thin strips. Or, slice thin with a mandolin or knife.
- Season liberally with salt and place in a colander for 15 minutes to drain. After 15 minutes, rinse salt off and dry cucumbers between paper towels to remove extra moisture.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the sesame oil, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, sugar and red pepper flakes.
- Add the cucumber, grated carrot and sesame seeds, toss to fully coat.
- Taste and season with more salt if desired.
Notes
- *I used a spiralizer with a flat blade to cut the cucumbers into long thin strips. If you don't have a spiralizer, use a mandolin or thinly slice with a knife.** Be sure to use gluten free soy sauce for gluten free!*** I prefer more spice, but start with less and add more to taste.
