  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large cucumbers, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sugar or honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small red chili, finely chopped (optional for heat)
  • Fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
  • Sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. Start by washing the cucumbers thoroughly. Use a Fullstar Ultimate Veggie Prep Master to quickly julienne or thinly slice the cucumbers for uniform crispness.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together rice vinegar, lime juice, soy sauce, sugar or honey, and minced garlic until well combined. Add chopped red chili if you like extra spiciness for a true Thai flavor.
  3. Add the sliced cucumbers into a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the cucumbers and toss gently to coat evenly. Let it marinate for 10-15 minutes in the refrigerator, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
  4. Before serving, sprinkle with chopped cilantro and sesame seeds for added texture and flavor. Serve immediately or chill for an hour for a more intense taste.

Notes

  • Always use fresh, crisp cucumbers for the best texture.
  • Adjust the level of chili and vinegar to suit your taste preferences.
  • For an extra crunch, add sliced peanuts or cashews.
