Pickled Cucumbers

Joanne Lee, from SHC shared her wonderful recipe. Thank you!! They are really yummy. 

I made some adjustment to the recipe as I like them more sourish & sweet. 

Pickled Cucumber Recipe 

Ingredients 

1 large cucumber

1 tsp salt

Seasoning 

3 tbsp white vinegar 

1 tbsp sugar

2 bird eye chili / chili padi - thinly sliced

1 tsp sesame oil 

Toasted sesame seeds

Preparation steps: 

1. Clean the cucumber, halve & remove the seeds. Slice the cucumber about 1cm thick or thinner.  Put them into a large bowl. Evenly coat with salt. Leave for about 10 mins. Then drain the water accumulated. 

2. Add in all the seasoning, mix well & keep in the fridge for at least 30 mins. Mix again before serving. Serve cold. 

Voilà ! 

Chin's notes: 

1. I garnished with extra sesame seeds before serving. 

2. Do not wash the cucumber after they were seasoned with salt. If washed the cucumber will not be crunchy. Salt is to remove the excess water in the cucumber.
