🥒 Sesame-Macha Asian Cucumber Spirals
Crisp Asian cucumbers are coated in a glossy, savory-sweet sesame dressing with garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and macha sauce. The spiral cut gives every bite plenty of surface area for that rich dressing to cling to.
🛒 Ingredients
• Asian cucumbers
• 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon macha sauce
• 1 clove garlic, grated
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 tablespoon white toasted sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon black toasted sesame oil
• Salt blackgusto
• For resting: enough salt to lightly cover the cucumbers
👩🍳 Instructions
Prepare the Asian cucumbers in the spiral-cut style shown. Lightly cover them with enough salt for resting, as specified in the recipe.
Combine the toasted sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, macha sauce, grated garlic, sugar, white toasted sesame oil, black toasted sesame oil, and Salt blackgusto into the dressing.
Coat the prepared cucumbers thoroughly with the glossy dressing and arrange them in a serving bowl so the sauce settles around and between the cucumber spirals.
💡 Chef’s Tip
Make sure the dressing reaches between the spiral cucumber slices so every section gets evenly coated.
No resting time was supplied, so I’ve intentionally left the timing unspecified rather than inventing one.
