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.

    Simple and tasty Asian cucumber and carrot salad recipe, that requires no time for the cucumber to salt and drain, no cooking and no lengthy marinating time. I'd make it again, possibly with the addition of some toasted sesame seeds and a bit of chilli to give heat.

    We love this dish at a local Chinese restaurant and I have been looking for a version to make at home. The technique really works smashing the cucumbers helps them absorb more of the sauce. Very delicious and easy to make. Next time we will try adding some chili oil to spice it up a bit.
