Tataki Kyuri (Smashed Cucumber Salad; Japanese)
loading...
X
I tried this chilled cucumber salad at a Japanese pop-up kitchen the other day, and was intrigued both by the texture and the depth of flavour.
Turns out giving the cucumbers a few whacks with a rolling pin before dressing them is the secret.
Those small, hard “snack-size” cucumbers work best, though I imagine the thin, curly Lebanese ones would be good too.
I’ve kept the dressing simple – just soy sauce, sesame oil and a little splash of rice vinegar (or yuzu citrus seasoning) for brightness.
