9 Reviews of Crunchy Chinese Cucumber Salad

This is a very crunchy and tasty cucumber salad, somewhat like the Japanese namasu (pickled cucumber recipe ). I used Japanese cucumbers and I did not take out the seeds. I cut it into rounds. Also, I didn't have dark rice vinegar and dark shoyu sauce, I used the white Japanese rice vinegar and the regular Japanese shoyu sauce which made it very tasty. Otherwise, I followed the recipe exactly. Enjoyed it!!!

Yummy. So glad I chose to make this recipe. Loved the balance of heat and sweet. This is a winner.

Excellent--a nice hit of fire, balanced beautifully against the slight sweetness of the rice vinegar. Cooking the dressing really does bring out different tones in the dressing than a traditional cold dressing would. Thanks, Duck!

Yummy cucumbers! I didn't have any chili peppers, so I used crushed red pepper flakes. I also topped it off with crushed peanuts. It was a big hit. Thanks for posting!

This was very different than any cucumber salad I've had and I loved it! I used a jalapeno (sliced seeds and all) because I always have them on hand. I also used splenda in place of regular sugar. I really enjoyed this...so crunchy and delicious. I thought there were going to be leftovers for me today but db ate them all. I did put the leftover dressing back in the fridge so I can just drizzle it over a salad today. I will make this again.
