Step by Step guide
Step 1
Cut the cucumbers into quarters. Place each piece seed-side down and smash with a knife until crunchy. You can wrap them in plastic wrap beforehand. Then, cut the remaining cucumber pieces diagonally into diamonds. Place them in a deep salad bowl.
Step 2
Slice the chili pepper. Cut the ginger into strips. Add them to the cucumbers. You can also add some green bell pepper. Squeeze the juice from half a lime.
Step 3
In a pan, toast a handful of coriander seeds, then grind them in a mortar with a teaspoon of sugar until powdered. Add to the cucumbers.
Step 4
Pour in two tablespoons of soy sauce, one tablespoon of rice vinegar, and one tablespoon of any fragrant oil. Mix everything together.
Step 5
Taste and adjust the seasoning. Add a handful of any nuts (preferably cashews), a handful of cilantro leaves, and a handful of sesame seeds (which can also be toasted beforehand).
Step 6
When serving, top with a handful of finely chopped green onion and pour in a tablespoon of oyster sauce, if available.
