Recipe type: Salad
Cuisine: Japanese and German
Prep time: 
Total time: 
Serves: 4
 
Ingredients
  • two large English cucumbers
  • ⅓ cup seasoned rice vinegar
  • ⅛ teaspoon sesame oil
  • sprinkle of black and white sesame seeds
Instructions
  1. Slice the cucumbers and place into a large tupperware container, or another container that has a lid. The goal is to slice the cukes as thinly as possible, so I prefer to use a mandolin. It also takes about a fifth of the time and the result is paper-thin slices.
  2. Pour the vinegar and sesame oil over the cucumbers. Close the lid and turn the container over a couple of times to mix the ingredients together.
  3. That's it! As a salad, this dish is now ready. To make the more pickled version, marinate the cucumbers overnight in the refrigerator. The pickles also taste great after a few days in the vinegar. Garnish with sesame seeds before serving.
