Chinese Style Cucumber Salad

A vegetarian lunch @ "少林欢喜地", a restaurant right next to the famous Shaolin Temple.

 

I find the Buddhist temples of China devoid of free vegetarian meals. Anywhere-else in the world, Buddhist temples will offer free vegetarian meals. NOT in China.

 

So I settle for the next best thing - I paid for one in a restaurant next to the Temple/Monastery.

 

I ordered set meals for 2 - and was offered 5 dishes with rice. This was the first dish - a simple but refreshingly tasty cucumber salad, lightly flavoured with soysauce, sesame oil and chilli oil.
