P F CHANG'S SHANGHAI CUCUMBERS



P F Chang's Shanghai Cucumbers image

This is a copycat recipe off of the P F Changs website. After a single review, it has been determined that the soy sauce and vinegar are out of balance and should be switched around. Use 3 tbsp vinegar to 1 tsp soy sauce.

I was looking for a copycat recipe of the Shanghai Cucumbers that you can get at PF Chang's and I ran across this one on another website. I hope it's close!

Time 15m

Yield 1 large bowl

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 large cucumbers
1 teaspoon salt (more or less, less to begin with )
3 tablespoons white vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
5 garlic cloves, minced
5 -7 red chilli padi
1 -2 teaspoon sesame oil

Steps:

  • Finely slice cucumbers into thin slices.
  • Add the salt, vinegar and sugar to the cucumbers. Mix together thoroughly with your fingers. This will "marinate" the cucumbers.
  • Mince the garlic and chili padi and add to the cucumbers.
  • Add 1-2 teaspoons of sesame oil.
  • Taste the cucumbers frequently as you make it and add more of each ingredient. If you want it spicy, add more minced chili padi. If the garlic taste is too strong, put less garlic in there. The salt and vinegar acids help the cucumber to absorb the flavors of garlic, chili and sesame oil.
  • Once you're satisfied with the taste, chill in the fridge before serving.

ASIAN CUCUMBER AND SESAME SALAD



Asian Cucumber and Sesame Salad image

I am still trying to find a recipe that comes close to the Shanghai Cucumber dish at PF Chang's. I just found this on another website and here is what the chef had to say: "I am experimenting with cucumbers since I ate this cucumber thing at PF Chang's. This one is better than the first one and as close as I have gotten to PF Chang's cucumber appetizer. When you have drained the sauce that they are marinating in, try to pour some of the sauce over brown rice. It is really good!"
