How can there be a crispy and delicious cold dish on the dining table in hot summer? Sauté ed cucumber pickles are frequent visitors on the summer table, which can relieve summer heat and be eaten as a meal, and the production method is also very simple.

Prepare fresh cucumber, wash it and cut it into thumb-thick strips. After that, put the cucumber strips into the pot, add appropriate amount of salt and marinate for about 2 hours. During the curing process, cucumber will gradually dehydrate and become soft and tender.

The next step is to make the sauce. Pour a little oil into the pot, add ginger and garlic until fragrant, then add bean paste and sweet noodle sauce. After frying the red oil, add some water, sugar and vinegar to make a sweet and sour sauce.

After the sauce is ready, drain the pickled cucumber strips and put them in the pot to mix well with the sauce. Stir-fry over high heat until cucumber strips are evenly dipped in sauce and become soft and waxy. Add a little sesame to add flavor, and then serve.

Stir-fried cucumber kimchi is not only simple to make, but also refreshing and appetizing. Sweet and sour sauce is wrapped in soft cucumber, and every bite is the enjoyment of taste buds. Pickled cucumber strips not only retain the crispness of cucumber, but also add a little salty taste, which is a rare appetizer with rice or noodles.

It is worth mentioning that the method of making pickled cucumber in oil is also very flexible. According to personal taste, you can adjust the sour-sweet ratio of the sauce, or you can add your favorite ingredients, such as carrots and fungus, to enrich the taste.

Pay attention to the following points when making braised cucumber pickles:

The pickling time of cucumber should not be too long, otherwise it will become too soft and affect the taste.

The concentration of sauce should be moderate. If it is too thin, it will come out easily. If it's too thick, it won't wrap the cucumber strips.

Adding sesame seeds before cooking can increase the flavor and taste.
