This is in response to a request. It is from "The Complete Asian Cookbook" by Charmaine Solomon. It does require that it marinates a while before serving. There is no real cook time involved.

Sorry, but I thought the salt amount overpowered the rest of the ingredients in this dish. The vinegar adds a nice tartness so I think the salt could be significantly reduced. Loved the ginger in it; added great depth.

    Delish!! I used a large English cucumber and did not peel or removed the seeds. Since the cuke was big I used 1 1/2 X the sauce and it was perfect. Light, tangy, a touch of ginger which give it a super fresh taste. We served it with grilled salmon but will make it with many other things I'm sure. A great quick and easy side with staples from my kitchen!

    Have always been a fan of cucumbers with rice vinegar, but the ginger creates a whole new element. I picked at my bowl over the course of 3 hours and would definitely say that marinating time should be between one and two hours.

    I shredded my cukes, added a little crushed red chili flakes and loved it! The ginger flavor goes well with the Sesame chicken I made. Thank you! Great flavors.
