Tempura prawns with stir-fried smacked cucumber is a great combination that will add real interest to menus. By smacking’ the cucumbers in this Sichuan side dish you create more rough surfaces which allows the sesame oil and Szechuan pepper to infuse into the cucumber better. The sauce is also fantastic when the tempura prawns are used to mop up any dressing left on the plate! Scaling the cucumber and refrigerate ready for use will allow you to complete the stir fried smacked cucumbers and the tempura prawns in under five minutes. A show stopper of a dish – ideal for busy pubs and hotels.
For our tempura prawns with stir-fried smacked cucumber we use Pacific West’s Tempura Prawns

For the stir-fried smacked cucumber
Cut the cucumbers into 4cm lengths and then cut each chunk into wedges. Put each piece under the flat of a cleaver and smack down on it with your hand. Cut or scrape off the seeds and put the pieces into a sieve and sprinkle over a little salt. Leave them for 30 minutes and then rinse and pat them dry. Heat a little oil in a wok until very hot and add the chilli and pepper, add the cucumber and stir-fry for a minute, then scoop the lot onto a plate and sprinkle some sesame oil on top.
