I really enjoyed this dish. The texture was crisp and the flavours unusual but very nice.

    Ellie- We absolutely loved the stir fry cucumber dish. We also love Mexican, so we added a pack of taco seasoning, and lots of garlic of course (omitted the mint)! It was served on flour wraps with sour cream and a little cheese. Now, my parents want the recipe (we had them over tonight for dinner). I was weary of the combination at first, but I had everything on hand, so I went for it. Thank you so much!!! (Tomorrow night, to use the rest of the cucumbers, I am making it again, and adding a little meat. Chicken, beef or shrimp...)

    Last of my garden cukes put to good use. I don't understand why more folks don't use them in stir fry - they stay crunchy and add a subte flavor - This recipe is a good example of how wonderful a veggie they really are. The hint of mint is a must. I used black sesame seeds. The tomatoes I used were some left over Mexican style canned -nice added bit of flavor and the texture was quite firm.. Thanks ellie 2 for a very tasty reciep.

    Delicious, I used burpless cucumber and Roma tomatoes right out of the garden, had yellow bell peppers so I used them. Toasted the sesame seeds before adding the cucumber mixture back to the skillet. This added such a good flavor to all. I didn't use the mint as we don't care for it. Thank you Ellie for another truely delicious recipe, I will be making this again & soon.
