Crispy cucumber

Overview

Today's cucumber dish is very delicious. Spicy and crispy, it goes very well with rice! Our Hunan girl finally satisfies her craving for spicy food all at once. Unknowingly, I ate an extra bowl of rice at noon, and my weight has been steadily increasing in recent months. What should I do? It was my birthday last month, so I ordered this dish at a restaurant, and I was stunned by the spicy and crunchy texture at the first bite. This is the first time I have eaten such delicious cucumbers. So I asked the boss what kind of cucumbers were used, and the boss said they were fruit cucumbers. I originally wanted to ask how to do it, but then I thought about it. How can you survive on this if other business people tell you. Let's do it ourselves when we have time. In the past, you could often see small, green cucumbers for sale in supermarkets in the south. But I haven’t found such cucumbers since I came to the north. I used another kind called white grass cucumber instead, which is just as crispy and delicious. The taste is very close to the one in the store.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Cut the cucumber into thin slices and marinate with a little sugar for about 15 minutes. (Don’t use too much sugar, just a little)

   

2. 2 A little water will seep out after 15 minutes, pour the water away. Sprinkle some salt and marinate for half an hour. After half an hour, pour out the pickling water and squeeze the cucumber dry with your hands. (The amount of salt is more than sugar, the purpose is to force the water out of the cucumber)

   

3. 3 While the cucumbers are cooking, prepare the side dishes. Cut the pork into small dices, cut the green onions into small sections, mince the ginger, slice the garlic, cut the green and red peppers into rings, and prepare a few Sichuan peppercorns.

   

4. 4 Add appropriate amount of oil in the pot, add diced pork and stir-fry.

   

5. 5 Add peppercorns and minced ginger and stir-fry until fragrant.

   

6. 6 Add the green onions and garlic slices and stir-fry.

   

7. 7 Add green and red peppers and stir-fry, turn to high heat.

   

8. 8 Finally add the pickled cucumber slices. Add a little oyster sauce and light soy sauce to taste. Test how salty it is and add salt as appropriate.

   

9. 9 Take it out of the pot.
