Ingredients

  • 2 cucumbers
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 1 bunch spring onions
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp mirin
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds
  • 1 chilli flakes

Method

Step 1

Top and tail the cucumbers and cut them in half through the middle. Then cut each half into quarters lengthways.

Step 2

Using the palm of your hand, press down quite hard on the cucumber pieces until the seeds break away and you feel the flesh soften. Chop into bite size pieces and place in a mixing bowl, discarding the seeds.

Step 3

Add the garlic, spring onions, sesame oil, vinegar, mirin and sesame seeds. Mix well.

Step 4

Add a pinch of sea salt and mix again.

Step 5

Serve with a sprinkle of chilli flakes over the top.
