Keto Spicy Asian Cucumber Salad
How to Make It
Step 1
Wash the cucumbers and cut the ends off. Place one cucumber between 2 chopsticks and make thin diagonal slices reaching the chopsticks. Flip and repeat on the other side.
Step 2
Repeat with the other cucumbers and place in a bowl. Sprinkle the salt and gently massage it into them. Let sit for 5 minutes.
Step 3
Rinse the cucumbers in cold water 3-4 times to completely wash off the salt. Strain and set aside. In the meantime, prepare the sauce ingredients.
Step 4
To a small bowl, add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, chili oil, sweetener, sesame oil, and sesame seeds. Mince the garlic and slice the spring onions and add them in. Whisk until the sweetener dissolves and set aside.
Step 5
Add the cucumbers to a serving bowl and pour the sauce. Gently mix to coat with the sauce. Enjoy!
