Slippery cucumber salad from Land of Fish and Rice: Recipes from the Culinary Heart of China (page 38) by Fuchsia Dunlop

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    This is more a technique/variation than a real recipe. Fuchsia did not mention needing to smack and split the cucumber for this salad so I didn't bother and only sliced it into 1/8" rounds. I used the above quick cucumber salad recipe as a guideline for the garlic and sugar quantities, and I didn't have any pickled chili so I just added a splash of Chinkiang vinegar for some acid. I think I prefer the more complex flavors of some of Fuchsia's other cucumber salad recipes, as this one is VERY simple, but it's nice too!
