Spicy Pounded Cucumber
Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine all the marinade ingredients and mix well.
- Add the red chili pepper.
- Wash the cucumbers, and pound lightly with a pestle or rolling pin until cracks appear.
- Cut the cucumbers into any shape.
- I prefer to quarter it lengthwise, then into 4 equal pieces.
- Add cucumbers to the marinade.
- Let it rest in the refrigerator for 12 hours.
- As the marinade will not thoroughly cover the cucumbers, mix the top and bottom cucumbers after 6 hours or so.
- Serve the amount you want to eat.
- It's best to eat the well marinated cucumbers from the bottom first.
- After a day, the cucumbers have shrunken and the acidity is slightly stronger.
- Eat within two days!
- Use a zip lock bag to marinate the cucumbers!
