Instructions
1
Smack and dress(5 min)
Place cucumbers on a cutting board, SMACK with the flat of your cleaver until they crack open. Cut into bite-size chunks. The jagged edges soak up more sauce. Toss with garlic, soy, vinegar, and sesame oil. Serve immediately.
Pro Tips for Western Kitchens
Smacking creates jagged edges that hold sauce 10x better than clean knife cuts. This is the single most important technique in the recipe.
