拍黄瓜 Cucumber salad
Cucumber salad with Chinese black vinegar, sesame oil, sugar, garlic, chilli... starting to sound like a Kylie Kwong's hot and sour cucumber salad from her My China TV show :P
It seems everything is vinegar, sugar, soy sauce and sesame oil... probably to go for the sweet and sour angle to please the Western palate.
ok, so maybe it is authentic. This chinese recipe lists same same ingredients, minus the chilli.
原料： 黄瓜 、香菜 、蒜泥、盐、白糖、白醋、鸡精、香油。
做法：
1、将黄瓜洗净，拍酥、切段；
2、香菜洗净切成末，倒入蒜泥、白醋、盐、白糖、香油、鸡精拌匀即可。
ingredients: cucumber, coriander, minced garlic, salt, sugar, Chinese white vinegar, chicken powder, sesame oil
method:
1. wash cucumber, crush and cut into strips (i quartered and removed seeds before lightly crushing)
2. wash coriander, chop finely and add the rest of the ingredients
