Instructions
- Add salt to the cucumbers, mix well, and set aside in the fridge for 10-15 minutes.
- In the meantime, make the Dressing by combining all the ingredients in a small saucepan. Turn on the heat and reduce the dressing a bit until it is slightly thickened. Let cool.
- Drain the salt water from the cucumbers completely. Toss the cucumbers and onions, and mix with the dressing. Top with peanuts, cilantro, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use Fresh Cucumbers: Go for firm, crisp cucumbers for the best crunch.
- Bite-sized pieces: Cut the cucumber into bite-sized chunks instead of thin slices. This gives you a satisfying crunch and texture.
- Lightly Salt and Chill: Salt the cucumbers and let them sit in the fridge for 10-15 minutes. This helps draw out excess water. Make sure to drain off the salt water before mixing with the dressing.
- Adjust Spice: Taste the dressing and tweak the sugar and vinegar to match your spice level.
- Add Toppings Last: Sprinkle on peanuts and cilantro just before serving to keep them crunchy.
