Gingered Cucumbers
Ingredients
- 1/2 large English cucumber 1 cup worth, peeled and cut into 1/4" x 2" strips
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ginger peeled and grated
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tbsp sugar Or 1/2 tsp Stevia
- 3 tbsp rice wine vinegar
- 1 tsp sesame oil
Instructions
- Take the 2 tsp of salt and sprinkle over the cucumbers, set in a bowl and put aside for half to one hour.
- Mix the other ingredients in a bowl.
- Drain the cucumbers, squeeze gently to extract liquid and pat dry with paper towels.
- Put in bowl with dressing and toss to coat.
- Set aside for about 20 minutes at room temperature / 1 hour in the fridge.
Notes
I like cold pickles / cucumbers, so marinated longer in the fridge, rather than their recommended 20 minutes at room temp.
