Calories: 60kcal
Equipment
- Chopsticks
Ingredients
- 8 Persian or Japanese cucumbers these look like mini cucumbers
- 2 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- chilli flakes as desired
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
For the cucumbers
- Cut the ends off the cucumbers, then place them between chopsticks, and make small diagonal cuts all along the cucumber, about 0.5 - 0.75 cm in spacing. The chopsticks will prevent you from slicing all the way through the cucumber. Flip the cucumber to the other side and make small horizontal cuts. Line up each cut with the previous cut mark to make the perfect slinky shape. Repeat on each cucumber to create a spiral. CHEAT OPTION: If you have a spiralizer you can use this to get the fancy cucumber shape.
For The Dressing
- To a bowl, add the minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, toasted sesame seeds, red pepper flakes and your sweetener of choice. Whisk until well combined.
To Assemble
- Pour the dressing over the cucumbers. Top with additional sesame seeds or chilli flakes and enjoy.
