An easy classic favorite: a cool summery chinese cucumber salad for these long summer days. People pay bucks for this chinese cucumber salad in restaurants and I'm not sure why. I've never liked the restaurant versions. They always seem so sloppily made, you know either too sweet or too sour, or waaay too garlicky (uck, one of the top food sins in my humble opinion).
Anyways why pay those big bucks for it when you can make it so easily and cheaply at home? And, believe me, this little chinese cucumber salad, or 拍黃瓜, that you make yourself at home will taste way better than any restaurant version.
