    This was a bit bland, but my husband liked it. He found it spicier than I did and he loves spice. Very easy and simple. A nice side dish for something richer.

    This was pretty good, although I found myself wishing it had more flavor. It was very subtle and light.

    p. 36 - A tasty, subtly flavoured dish. I don’t think I’ve ever cooked cucumber before so this was a first for me. This dish was simple to prepare and produced a very nice salad that I’ll definitely make again. mr bc was a big fan of this dish. The cucumbers retained their crunch but seemed to be infused somehow w the subtle flavours of chillis and the smoky Sichuan peppers that had sizzled in the oil. Delicious.
