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 simple dish is surprisingly good. I reversed the order of adding ingredients to the wok. I added the soaked dried shrimp to the hot oil first to infused the oil, then added the skinned and seeded cucumber batons and finally the shrimp soaking liquid. I thought the cucumber would disintegrate upon simmering, but it held its shape well. Great cooked cucumber dish.
