How to Make Spicy Cucumber Salad

hey guys welcome to the art of cooking today we're going to make spicy cucumber salad using the Chinese red chili woo this is basically a small side dish that's easy to make healthy tea and a good palate cleanser two dishes our meat base or heavy in flavor this is my take on a Japanese cucumber salad cole sunomono literally means vinegar food or things but instead of the typical Japanese flavor I'm going to super Sayan this by adding some chili peppers first you need 450 grams 1 pound of seedless cucumber second you must learn the way of the knife and the knife shall guide you to the mandoline slicer and the mandolin slicer will lead you to the path of getting the same results as mine or better cuz it's uniform and not having your fingers cut off and there ye shall find that thinly sliced cucumbers holla at you anyways let's move along to the next step you need 1/2 teaspoon of salt and mix I'll sit for about 5 minutes or so in the meantime say hello to my little friend cut 1 Thai chilli or Birds Eye chili diagonally this little friend of mine we transform the cucumber salad into super Sayan mode let's make the vinaigrette in a bowl add in the sliced chili 3 tbsp of rice vinegar 2 tsp of sugar 1 TSP of soy sauce about 1/2 teaspoon of roasted or toasted sesame seeds 1 tsp of Chinese red chili oil the link to that chili oil video will be in the description box below lastly 1 tsp of sesame seed oil and mix until the sugar is dissolved next squeeze some water out of the cucumber by doing this the cucumber absorbs some of the vinaigrette more easily you don't have to squeeze all the water out just squeeze about 25 to 30% of its water content combine the vinegar mixture with the cucumber and toss the salad now as for the cucumber juice use that as a vinaigrette for another salad by adding some extra virgin olive oil and some lemon juice because thrown-away is just too damn expensive plate and garnish with some more sesame seeds and a little bit more chili oil on top and bam super Sayan cucumber salad guaranteed to unleash your taste bud please serve this immediately otherwise the cucumber salad will get too vinegary thank you for watching if you like this video click on the thumbs up button subscribe faith if you have any questions or comments please leave it below and may the force be with you you
