Cooking - Sweet & Sour Cucumber Dish!

In this hot & humid weather in Hong Kong, I pretty much lose my appetite on having any hot or warm food. I decided to share a cold dish recipe for all occasions! This dish is very healthy and without any cooking at all! It's suitable as an appetiser, snack or a meal depending on how many cucumbers you want to put in it.

The ingredients. This is only my intake on how to do this. 

Ingredients

  • Cucumbers
  • Garlic
  • Fish sauce
  • Sugar
  • Vinegar
  • Sesame Oil


Let's make the sauce!


  • Wash all the cucumbers and cut them up into slices. If you don't like the skin you can peel it off. I personally love it with the skin, it gives a crunchier bite to it!
  • Dice 4-5 cloves of garlic and put it in a bowl.
  • 1 tsp of Sugar
  • 1 tsp of Fish Sauce
  • 1 tsp of Vinegar
  • 1 tsp of Sesame Oil
  • Add all the ingredients together and mix!
  • Add the cucumbers in the sauce mixture and mixture them together. 
  • Put in the refrigerator for 20 mins or over night for the sauce to really soak in.


Tip : Taste the sauce before putting the cucumbers in. If you like it sweeter, more salty or more sour you can add to your sauce depending on your own taste. 


Marinate at least 20 minutes. Best over night!
Occasionally toss and turn the cucumbers around to absorb the sauce.  


Super easy! Super fast! Healthy eating! Enjoy!
