This is a simple
dish but it needs to be prepared half a day in advance.
Serves 4
Ingredients
3 oriental cucumbers
1/2 medium-sized carrot
2 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 quarters. Cut crossways into
finger-length pieces.
- Slice carrot into matchstick-sized
slivers.
- 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: For a variation add a teaspoon of finely
diced ginger. You can substitute the cucumber with other vegetables,
such as kohlrabi, cabbage or Chinese cabbage.
