Method :
Let's take cucumbers, I use half a kilogram of medium-fruited cucumbers for cooking, but this is not important, you can take any
We cut off the ends of the cucumbers, and beat the cucumbers themselves with the flat side of the knife until obvious longitudinal cracks appear. Or we just press them down
The main point of this procedure is that the structure of the cucumbers will be disrupted and they will marinate much faster than simply sliced ones
After the cucumbers are beaten, cut them
I prefer to first cut the cucumbers lengthwise and then into fairly thick half mugs
Transfer the prepared cucumbers to a deep bowl
Add enough salt, mix them and set them aside
Cut the hot Thai chili pepper into half rings
I remind you that when working with chili pepper, do not rub your nose or eyes under any circumstances, otherwise you will not have a very pleasant experience
We also chop a small bunch of cilantro and several green onions, or, as in my case, one large feather
In a frying pan, stirring, heat a few tablespoons of sesame seeds until golden brown and let it cool
Drain the released juice from the cucumbers. We pass 2 cloves of garlic through a garlic press; I recommend passing the garlic through the press so that it releases its juice better
Add previously chopped Thai chili peppers, cilantro and green onions to the cucumbers and garlic
Add 2 tbsp to the vegetables. soy sauce, 1 tbsp. fish sauce, 1 tbsp. sesame oil and toasted sesame seeds
Then mix everything together and put it in the refrigerator for 20 minutes
There are no tricks to serving broken cucumbers
Simply remove them from the refrigerator, stir them and place them on a serving plate
