Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 19

2(about 750g/1lb 10oz), cut into 2.5cm/1in slices cucumber
2 tbsp cornflour
3 tbsp groundnut oil
225g pork mince
1 egg white
1 ½ tbsp finely chopped spring onions
1 tbsp finely chopped fresh ginger
2 tbsp Shaohsing rice wine or dry Sherry
2 tbsp light soy sauce
2 tsp white caster sugar
1 tsp sesame oil
300ml chicken stock
2 tbsp light soy sauce
2 tbsp Shaohsing rice wine or dry Sherry
1 tbsp oyster sauce
2 tsp sugar
1 tsp cornflour mixed with 2 tsp water
2 tsp sesame oil
½ small pack coriander , finely chopped

Steps:

  • Using a small sharp knife, remove the seeds and fleshy pulp from the centre of each cucumber slice. Further hollow the cucumber with a teaspoon so that you have tubes with a roughly 5mm shell. Lightly dust the hollow interiors of the slices with the cornflour. Mix all the stuffing ingredients together in a bowl with 1 tsp salt and pepper, and stuff each cucumber ring with the mixture.
  • Heat a wok or large frying pan, then add the groundnut oil. When it is moderately hot, add some of the stuffed cucumber rings. Cook slowly until they are slightly browned, then turn them over and brown the other side. You may have to do this in several batches, adding more oil if necessary.
  • When the cucumber rings are browned, remove them with a slotted spoon and place on a plate. When you have fried all the rings, wipe the wok or pan clean.
  • Reheat the wok or pan, add the sauce ingredients and bring to a simmer. Add the stuffed cucumber rings, cover the pan with a lid and simmer slowly for 7 mins or until the cucumbers are completely cooked. Lift them out of the sauce with a slotted spoon and transfer to a warm serving platter.
  • Return the pan to the heat and reduce the sauce by a third over a high heat. Add the sesame oil and coriander, then pour the sauce over the stuffed cucumbers to serve.

STUFFED CUCUMBERS



Stuffed Cucumbers image

I have been making these for years. Another fast, easy and tasty pupu. The "stuffing" really does need to sit and marinate for a while so make it the morning of or no more then 12 hours before serving. Otherwise it becomes a runny mess. The website did not recognize the words Japan or seedless - but I usually use the longer slim Japanese or seedless variety.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 20m

Yield 4 boats, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 large cucumbers
2 ounces feta
dill weed
white pepper

Steps:

  • Cut about 2+1/2 inches off each end of cucumber (assuming you are using the Japan or seedless, since they are typically rather long).
  • Grate the ends using a hand grater & place into a fine mesh strainer.
  • Cut the cucumbers in half, then again lengthwise.
  • Scoop out seeds so you have four boats & run the bottom side of boat across a grater. This creates a flat bottom so the boat doesn't rock. Save the shavings & rough chop into the grated cuc ends from above.
  • The longer you let the cucumber strain, the drier the stuffing will be, I usually wait about 30 minutes.
  • Remove grated cuc from the strainer, add to bowl.
  • Add 2oz feta, white pepper and dill weed. Stir gently.
  • Chill at least a couple hours but no longer than 12 hours.
  • Wipe the boats dry (makes the stuffing easier) and place stuffing inside.
  • Garnish: black lava sea salt & dots of sriracha mixed with mayo.
  • You can also slice into smaller bite sized "U's" if you refrigerate after stuffing to re-firm the feta/cuc mixture.
  • Prep time does not include refrigerator marinade time.
