Asian-style Cucumber Salad

Transform a few cucumbers into a vibrant, flavour-packed salad using just a few pantry staples and minutes of your time. It’s so simple, you’re basically quick-marinading red onion and cucumbers in soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil and a little chilli.

This salad is crisp and refreshing, perfect for summer meals when you’re craving something light. Use it to top a rice bowl, with noodles or serve it with a fiery curry, baked fish or tofu skewers. You can dress it up or down depending on what you have on hand and who you’re trying to impress. Toasted peanuts, fried shallots, or a little thinly sliced green chilli would bring a touch of deluxe.

Start by making the dressing. In a large bowl add soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sesame seeds, sesame oil, sugar, salt and chili oil. Mix well to combine.

Step 2
Thinly slice the onion and add to the bowl with the dressing. Mix and set to allow the onion to lightly pickle.

Step 3
Halve the cucumbers, and cut into rough chunks at an angle, about 3 cm thick. Add the bowl with the onions and gently mix. Let sit for at least 10-15 minutes, then roughly chop the coriander leaves and mix through the salad. Taste adding more salt and pepper if needed, then serve.
