It is wrong to refrigerate cucumbers directly. What steps should you keep in mind to make them crispier and more delicious?
Cold cucumber is simple to make and has a crispy taste. It is loved by our whole family. When it comes to this dish, everyone must be dismissive. After all, this home-cooked cold dish is really not worth mentioning compared with other dishes. But for such a simple home-cooked dish, many people use the wrong method, resulting in a very bad taste.
Cold cucumbers need to be made with skill. It is not as simple as adding condiments and serving as a cold dish. If mixed with cold dishes immediately, it is easy to cause the cucumbers to be not crisp enough and soft when eaten, and not very tasty. In fact, if you want it to be crispier and more flavorful, you only need to keep two important points in mind during the cooking process. Food required for cold cucumber: fresh cucumber, garlic, millet pepper, coriander, salt, sugar, oil, light soy sauce, mature vinegar, sesame oil Step 1
Let’s prepare the sauce directly , sprinkle all into a bowl and mix well, a small spoon of salt, 1 spoon of white sugar, 1 spoon of oil, 3 spoons of light soy sauce, 3 spoons of mature vinegar, stir well and set aside.
Next, we cut the millet pepper into small pieces, mince the garlic, and cut the coriander into sections and set them aside. Then process the cucumber. After cleaning the cucumber, cut it into quarters and scoop out a small part of the flesh in the middle. Why is it processed this way? The fundamental reason is that the innermost part is relatively soft and tender, and it is not crispy enough when pickled. Step 2
After digging it out, everyone cuts the cucumber into segments and puts them into a bowl. Next, remember not to pickle, but do one step every day, and this step is pickling. Add a spoonful of edible salt to the cucumber, mix well, and then let it sit for a while to kill the water.
Wait for about 15 minutes, throw away the water from the cucumber, and then pour in the seasoning that was prepared initially, as well as the millet pepper, garlic, and coriander, and finally add a spoonful of sesame oil. Use chopsticks to stir it thoroughly and it's ready to serve on the table. Cold cucumber is a very delicious home-cooked cold dish that goes well with meals. It is perfect to eat when you have no appetite. You can cook a bowl of noodles in the morning and eat them together. Adults and children like it.
