RECIPE
Cucumber:
- 2 cucumber (for 3-4 people)
- peel SOME skins off cucumber to create pattern

- (optional) cut away seeds
Sauce:
- 3-4 clove of garlic chop into paste
- 1 chili red pepper 小米辣 chop into paste
- 1 green onion, finely chopped
- some cilantro, finely chopped
- 2g salt
- if you want softer cucumber, add salt into cucumber earlier so cucumber will “dehydrate” and soften
- if you want crunchy 爽口的 cucumber, combine salt with other sauce
