I tried this at an Asian market and loved it! When I asked what was in it, no one was quite sure, so I went home, experimented, and came pretty close!
You need:
- 4 Persian Cucumbers (pickling cucumbers will also work)
- 2 T sesame seed (toasted)
- 1/2 teaspoon Garlic (minced)
- 1 cup of rice wine vinegar
- 1 Tablespoon of toasted sesame seed oil
- 1 – 2 teaspoons siracha sauce (depending on your tastes)

Slice the cucumbers into fairly thin slices. Place in a non-corrosive dish (like rubbermaid or glass). Mix the remaining ingredients in a glass bowl and pour over the cucumber slices.
[3]Cover and refrigerator at least 24 hours – Makes 4 servings
[4]To toast the sesame seeds:
Put a dry (no oil) cast iron skillet onto med-high heat – Put sesame seeds in a single layer and heat, shaking the pan, until the begin to slightly brown. Remove immediately from the heat and cool. I usually dump them onto a plate at this point so the heat from the pan does not burn them.
[5]Enjoy!! Goes great with Thai pork chops and Bok choy! [6]
