cucumber ribbon salad with itsu crispy'chilli oil
you will need
- 4 cucumbers
- 120ml soy sauce
- 60ml mirin [or water]
- 2 tbsp itsu crispy'chilli oil [adjust to taste]
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 spring onion, finely chopped
- ½ garlic clove, minced
let's get cooking
step 1
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, mirin, itsu crispy'chilli oil, honey, spring onion and garlic. Set aside while the cucumbers are prepared.
step 2
Using a peeler, slice the cucumbers lengthways into thin ribbons. Avoid the soft, watery core in the middle to keep your ribbons crisp.
step 3
Stack a few cucumber ribbons together, then gently roll them into spirals. Repeat with the remaining ribbons and arrange in a shallow serving dish.
step 4
Pour the dressing over the cucumber spirals, making sure they are evenly coated. Leave to marinate for at least 1 hour, ideally chilled in the fridge, allowing the flavours to soak in. Serve cold with an extra drizzle of the dressing from the dish.
Cool, crunchy and packed with flavour, these cucumber spirals are marinated in a sweet and savoury dressing with soy, mirin and our signature crispy'chilli oil. The perfect balance of heat, umami and crunch for a refreshing side.
