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.

    I substituted sherry for the sake since I didn't have any on hand. No complaints!

    This was easy to prepare and quite nice. I used wasabi peanuts instead of peas

    Delicious - even without the wasabi peas and peanuts. Will definitely make regularly.

    This is the first smashed cucumber salad I've made (the name just never sounded very appealing), but it won't be the last. Lacking both wasabi peas and peanuts (I could have sworn I had peanuts on hand), I sprinkled the salad with sesame seeds. Really good!

    Peanuts are an interesting touch. Refreshing and tasty.

    I love a good cucumber salad and this is a good cucumber salad! Super easy and tasty! Makes a great side dish for any Asian main in particular.
