The practice of cold cucumber
Step step
1
Wash all the ingredients. Cut the cucumber in the middle and crush it gently with the back of a knife for later use. Attention should be paid to this step: the cucumber can't be broken with the back of a knife, the broken cucumber doesn't produce juice, and the crack is too brittle to taste easily. It must be crushed gently and mixed with cold dishes to taste delicious.
Step step
2
Chop the green part of green onion (green onion is easier to taste than green onion, and there is a lot of gum in the green part of green onion, which can improve the taste and appearance of cucumber), mix the fine garlic powder with coarse garlic powder (fine garlic powder can improve the taste and appearance), and cut ginger powder for later use. Leave a small section of the green part of the green onion and cut it into fine circles, and use it in the last step.
Step step
three
Put the cucumber in a big bowl, dry-break or chop the pepper and add it (mainly for ornament and fragrance enhancement), and then add soy sauce, white vinegar, aged vinegar, apricot vinegar (without apricot vinegar, apricot vinegar contains a small amount of natural fermented alcohol, which can improve the cool and refreshing feeling of cucumber and reduce the stale taste of aged vinegar), Chili powder, sesame paste (white), white sesame seeds and white sugar.
Step step
four
Cover the mixed cucumber with plastic wrap, and put it in the refrigerator for more than half an hour. After taking it out, it will precipitate, which needs to be stirred again, and then put it on the plate. After putting it on the plate, you can sprinkle a little pepper powder to enhance the color. Finally, put the green onion rings reserved in the first step on the ornament, and it is finished.

Cooking skills of cold cucumber
Tips
1, the best choice of cucumber is small, tender and crisp, and the taste will be slightly sweet.
2. Cucumber will lose its refreshing taste if it is crushed too much. When it is pressed, you can press two kinds, so that both pieces (very broken but still connected) and small pieces are available, which is delicious and crisp.
3. The proportion of seasoning can be adjusted according to your own taste.
4, too much salt will cover the aroma of cucumber, soy sauce contains salt, and then add a small amount of salt to refresh.
5. Sesame sauce has a strong aroma. If you put it too much, it will be boring, and other flavors will be covered, as long as it is appropriate.
6, eat while it's cold, be sure to have food with it.
