Stir-fried sesame cucumbers

4 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 Cucumbers
Salt
1½ tablespoon Sesame oil
¼ teaspoon Sugar

Directions

1. Peel cucumbers and cut in half lengthwise. Scoop out seeds with a spoon; then cut crosswise in ½-inch slices.

2. Arrange slices on a flat plate and sprinkle well with salt. Let stand 1 hour; then squeeze each slice gently to press out as much moisture as possible.

3. Heat sesame oil. Add cucumbers and stir-fry until softened and translucent (1 to 2 minutes).

4. Then stir in sugar and serve at once.

NOTE: Because of their semicircular shape, these are sometimes called Cucumber Moon Slices.
