Liang-pan-huang-kua: Cucumber Salad with Spicy Dressing
2 med cucumbers (I've used peeled English and peeled regular)
1 t. soy
1 T. white vinegar (I used plain rice vinegar)
1 T. sugar
2 t. sesame-see oil
1/4 t. Tabasco
1/2 t. salt
Cut cucumbers lenghtwise in two. With a small spoon, scrape the seed out of each half, leaving hollow boatlike shells. Cut crosswise into 14" slices. In small glass or porcelain bowl, combine soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, sesame oil, Tabasco and salt; mix well. Add cucumber. With a large sppon, toss to coat each slice throroughly with dressing. Chill slightly before serving.
(Better if cool but not cold.)
