Pa cucumber is a home-cooked cold dish that I like to eat very much. It is crisp and refreshing. Especially when the weather is hot and I have no appetite, it is so comfortable to make a cucumber slice and pair it with a bowl of porridge!

The method of making cucumbers is very simple, but the cucumbers made by many people are soft and not crispy when eaten, and the taste will be much worse. So, how can you make cucumbers taste crisp and refreshing? Today I will share with you how to pat cucumbers.

Start by choosing a cucumber.

There are two types of cucumbers we usually buy, one is white and the other is green. White-fleshed cucumbers are softer and suitable for stir-frying or making soups, while green-fleshed cucumbers are crisper and are the most suitable for cucumber making. Green-flesh cucumbers are generally slender and have some thorns on the surface, and the thorns are prickly to the touch. Such cucumbers are suitable for cold salad.

After selecting the cucumbers, we wash them and then peel them. If the cucumbers are relatively tender, you don’t need to peel them.

Secondly, the most important thing when patting cucumbers is to pat them. Be sure to pat the cucumbers open so that they taste easier to eat.

Cut the cucumber into small pieces and put it in a bowl, then sprinkle some salt to marinate the cucumber. Cucumbers tend to release water easily, so we must do a good job of "killing the water" before serving them cold. This is also one of the techniques to make cucumbers crisp and refreshing. After the cucumbers are pickled in water, the water will not come out when we cool them, and the cold taste will be better.

The cucumbers are usually pickled for about three minutes. Remove the water, then add some minced garlic and add light soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, fried peanuts, and mix well.

In this way, a plate of crisp and refreshing cucumbers is ready. Have you learned how to do it?

Finally, let me summarize for you, how can you make cucumbers crisp and delicious?

The first choice is green-flesh cucumbers, that is, when purchasing, be sure to choose slender ones with prickly thorns on the surface. Only such cucumbers will be crisp and delicious.

Second, you must pat cucumbers, not slice them.

Third, the cucumbers must be pickled, and then the water must be filtered before seasoning.
