The thing that attracted me the most about this dish was its crispy taste, so I marinated the cucumber overnight and then served it in a cold dressing, and it really got the crispy taste I imagined. The seasoning is the sweet and sour flavor that my family likes. I also added half a spoonful of spicy fermented black bean sauce. The spiciness is acceptable to those who can’t eat it, but the taste is richer.

Ingredients

500g Cucumber
2 cloves Garlic
1 teaspoon Salt
1 tbsp Soy Sauce
2 tbsp Vinegar
5 teaspoons Sugar
0.5 tbsp Spicy Black Bean Sauce
2 tbsp Sesame Oil

Pickled Cucumbers

1. Prepare the materials the night before

2. Wash the cucumber and cut into thicker slices, add salt and stir well, cover with plastic wrap and marinate overnight. (Cucumber slices should be uniform in thickness. If they are too thick, they will not taste easy. If they are too thin, they will lose their taste. The pickling time must be long, and the water will be fully pickled so that the cucumber will be crispy.)

3. After marinating, there is obvious water.

4. Squeeze the water fully. (The water must be fully squeezed dry, so that the taste will be more crispy. I squeeze it again after squeezing.)

5. Add all the spices and sliced garlic, mix well, and continue to marinate for half a day or a day. (The longer the marinade, the more delicious it will be.)

Tips:
The final marinating is as important as the previous marinating. If there is not enough time to let it taste, it will be overshadowed. In fact, the recipe for this dish is very simple. It just takes some time. You may think that it is a cold dish. It is not worth it to spend so much time, but just like our life, if you are afraid or unwilling to spend time on something, then you will miss such a delicacy or scenery.
