Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

¼ cup rice vinegar
3 tablespoons sugar
½ teaspoons salt
2 teaspoon EACH: toasted sesame oil AND fish sauce
¼ - ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 large hothouse (English) cucumbers, thinly sliced
½ red onion, thinly sliced
⅓ cup chopped peanuts (optional)
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Steps:

  • DRESSING: If you aren't the biggest fan of fish sauce, start with 1 teaspoon instead of two. Combine the ingredients for the dressing in a small bowl and whisk until the sugar dissolves. Set aside.
  • THAI CUCUMBER SALAD: Combine the ingredients for the salad (except the peanuts) in a medium bowl. Pour the prepared dressing on top and stir so all the cucumbers are evenly coated in the dressing. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and allow the salad to marinate in the refrigerator for roughly 15-20 minutes or up to 1-2 hours. Add the peanuts to the top right before serving.

THAI SWEET-AND-SOUR CUCUMBER SALAD



Thai Sweet-And-Sour Cucumber Salad image

From Real Vegetarian Thai by Nancie McDermott. In the note it says that if you are using a nice, unwaxed cucumber to leave some of the skin on. (I never use the cilantro.) This goes well with Thai Shrimp With Coconut-Almond Rice, Recipe #287896.

fresh cilantro leaf
