Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 cucumbers
3 Tbsp seasoned rice vinegar
1 1/2 Tbsp mirin (sweet cooking rice seasoning)
1/2 tsp toasted sesame oil
1 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp pepper
2 tsp sesame seeds

Steps:

  • 1. Wash cucumbers and peel (I like to leave random, thin stripes of peel on. I think it makes a nicer looking dish) Cut cuc's in quarters lenghtways, then slice off the soft seeded area. Chop crossways into bite size pices.
  • 2. In a large serving bowl add the cucumbers and the next five ingredients. Mix well. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Chill for at least an hour or cover with plastic wrap and refridgerate to have the next day.
