This is a simple
dish but it needs to be prepared half a day in advance.
Serves 4
Ingredients
3 cups oriental cucumbers
1/4 cup carrot slivers
3 tablespoons white rice vinegar
5 cloves garlic, finely diced
1 chilli pepper, sliced
3 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon sugar
Method
- Scrub cucumber skin well (do not peel).
- Cut
cucumbers lengthways into halves, then quarters. Cut crossways
into finger-length pieces.
- Sprinkle 2 teaspoons
of salt over cucumbers and carrot. Mix in.
- Refrigerate for 1 to
2 hours (longer time equals more tender vegetables).
- Rinse
off salt and drain.
- Add remaining teaspoon of salt, rice
vinegar, garlic, chilli pepper, sugar. Mix well.
- Refrigerate for a further 3 to 4 hours, mix
and serve.
Notes:
You can substitute the cucumber with other vegetables, such as kohlrabi, cabbage
or Chinese cabbage. For a variation add a teaspoon of finely diced ginger.
