1. Preparation of cucumber: 2. Half washed but unpeeled cucumber lengthwise. Remove the seeds with a spoon and discard. Slice into ca 1/2 cm / 1/5 inch pieces. Put into a bowl. 3. Mix hot water and salt and pour it over the cucumber pieces. Leave cucumbers in water for ca 20 minutes. 4. Dressing: 5. Heat oil in a medium skillet. 6. Add chilli and cook for 1-2 minutes. 7. Add the remaining ingredients of the dressing until the sesame oil. Cook for 2 minutes. 8. Add garlic and sesame. Cook for 1-2 minutes. Put aside. 9. Finish Salad: 10. Drain the cucumber pieces (after the 20 minutes in the water) and squeeze them slightly. Mix with the dressing (I do this in the skillet and put salad afterwards into a bowl) and leave the salad for 2 hours to develop its flavour. 11. Serve as a starter or as a side dish to a chinese meal. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
