Best Kiyuri Namasu Cucumber Salad Recipes
CUCUMBER NAMASU
Namasu is a Japanese recipe that soaks sliced vegetables in a sweet vinegar mixture. This version uses cucumber that's been "drained" first (by letting it stand with salt on it) and then it's marinated with salt, sugar, rice wine vinegar, and fresh ginger. You can eat it as a salad or use it as a condiment (wherever you'd use pickles or other pickled vegetables)

Steps:
- Slice the cucumbers lengthwise and scrape out the seeds if desired. Slice the cucumber into very thin slices on the diagonal. Place the cucumber slices in a bowl and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of the salt. Let stand for 20 minutes. Rinse and drain the cucumber slices well and squeeze out any excess water using a kitchen towel. Return the cucumber to the bowl. In another bowl or measuring cup, stir together the remaining salt, sugar, rice wine vinegar, and ginger. Mix well then pour over the cucumbers. Stir gently to combine. Cover the bowl and place in the refrigerator. Chill until ready to serve.

SESAME JAPANESE CUCUMBER SALAD
I don't really remember where I got this recipe; off the internet somewhere, I'm sure. This tasty little salad is just the thing to cool you off in the summer; very refreshing, and so quick and easy. Just remember if you're sensitive to cucumbers (I am) try to use the "burpless" varieties.
