After seeing how obsessed everyone was with the cucumbers (seriously, they went before theKaraage!
), it prompted me to share my version.
Smashing the cucumbers until they burst open lets the dressing get right into all those cracks and crevices!
I use a meat mallet (the smooth side, not ridged faced).
Rolling pin, pestle or even a can will do.
Dont bash to the point of oblivion.
I also like to add green onions and coriander I find it give it that extra tasty factor.
But I still make it without!

And heres what you need.
For this particular Cucumber Salad, either will work.
Use 2 long ones, or 3 to 4 standard cucumbers.
Chinese, Japanese food (see my mothers websiteRecipeTin Japan), Thai, Vietnamese.
And really, really tasty.
