Shanghainese cucumber salad, two ways: smashed cucumbers with vinegar, sesame & soy from A Common Table: 80 Recipes and Stories from My Shared Cultures (page 180) by Cynthia Chen McTernan

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.

    5 stars. Perfect accompaniment for searingly spicy dishes.

    I did not smash the cucumbers, nor did they release much liquid because they were tiny ‘poppers’. Simple, quick and tasty side. I served alongside One-pot gingery chicken and rice with peanut sauce from Bon Appetit.
