Cucumber dragon, also called fenyi cucumber, but later I knew the name after I grew up, and called it Cucumber Dragon, I think it is more appropriate to the image, because after the cut, it is pulled up and the long one will never break. It looks like a long dragon, swimming in the plate.
For this dish, I have special feelings. In my heart, this "old dish" of our family is definitely one of the best on the food list of parents. If you ask my father, he will kindly tell You, this is our "exam dish". The reason is that my parents brought me this cool side dish when I was in the middle school entrance examination and the college entrance examination, and then there was a fragrant dried fish. So, Seeing these two dishes, I naturally thought of my dearest parents.
Until I grew up, I have always envied my parents' knife skills. Every time I saw them cutting cucumber dragons, I would always be surprised by the side for a while--how could it be possible, but I never dared to try. Mom and dad are just beside me--say, can you just use chopsticks on both sides? Try it, hey, it really works. Haha, I’m not a good classmate like me, this Go bold and try it.

Ingredients

Cucumber Dragon

1. Choose two cucumbers that are relatively straight and long, and wash them.

2. Classmates who are good at knives cut directly, and those who are not good at knives, like this, put chopsticks on both sides of the cucumber.

3. While cutting to the bottom according to the angle of 45 degrees with the chopsticks (because the chopsticks are there, it will not be cut), the students who are good at knives have a good grasp of the angle and strength, and it is enough to not cut to the end.

4. Turn the cucumber at an angle of 180 degrees.

5. Then cut the knife at a 90-degree angle to the chopsticks.

6. Look, it's cut, it really won't break.

7. Yard on the plate.

8. Sprinkle with salt and sugar, and then gently rub with your hands to make the seasoning more flavorful.

9. After marinating for half an hour, the salt and sugar on the surface have melted, and the moisture of the cucumber has been forced out. Look, it is easier to pull it apart now.
