| Cook Time: | 5 minutes |
Our spicy cucumber salad is a refreshing spiral cucumber salad that has the right amount of spice from the marinade. It partners nicely with tempura prawns but would work equally well with Pacific West’s chilli squid. Scale the cucumber salad and keep refrigerated. A great menu addition for pubs and hotels.
INGREDIENTS
- Pacific West tempura prawns
- 3 Lebanese cucumbers or Persian cucumber
- 1 tsp Maldon sea salt
- 2 cloves garlic, grated - cucumber dressing
- 1 tbsp aged balsamic vinegar - cucumber dressing
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil - cucumber dressing
- 1 tsp soy sauce - cucumber dressing
- 1 tbsp chili garlic sauce - cucumber dressing
- 1 tsp brown sugar - cucumber dressing
INSTRUCTIONS
For the tempura prawns
Deep fry 180C 2-3 minutes
For the spicy cucumber salad
Trim the tip ends of the cucumber. Without cutting all the way through the cucumbers, make thin straight cuts on the top, about 2 mm slices. Flip the cucumber over (with the unsliced surface facing you), and make thin slices on a slight angle-cut.
In a large bowl, add the cucumbers and sprinkle with salt. Set it aside to rest for 15 minutes. Lightly rinse the salted cucumbers until tap water and gently pat them dry with a clean paper towel.
For the marinade – In a small bowl, combine the ingredients from garlic to sugar. Stir and mix well.
You can either cut the cucumber length in half or serve it whole. Transfer the cucumbers to a serving plate. Pour over the dressing and let it chill in the fridge for 10 minutes before serving.
