*CHINESE CUCUMBER SALAD*

Category: Salad

1 medium-size cucumber: Wash off the wax preservative on the skin and cut it in half lengthwise (do not peel). Scrape out the seeds from both halves and cut each half into large bite size pieces. Put the pieces into a deep bowl.

Dressing: In a wok or shallow pan, heat 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1 tsp (or more to taste) Chinese chili sauce, 2 tsp sugar, and 2 tbsp rice wine vinegar. Off heat stir in 1-2 cloves finely chopped garlic. While this sauce is hot, add it to the cucumber. When they have cooled down, the salad is ready to serve.
