龍年年夜飯主意之-盤龍黃瓜-Dragon cucumber salad

當然聚會，就要多切幾根黃瓜，才夠吃的。同理，長茄子，可以蒸熟，澆汁。

 

 

The most fun way to cut and present cucumber, ever! This cucumber salad is made one cucumber, sliced into a dragon shape and dressed in a sweet, sour, and finally topped with chili oil.

 

This cucumber salad is a traditional Chinese recipe, it is called Suo Yi cucumber, or 蓑衣黃瓜, which literally means starw raincoat cucumber. And that's because the traditional Chinese raincoat was made of overlapping straw, think a Hawaiian grass skirt but for the whole body. The way the cucumber is sliced and stretched out resembles the overlapping straws, hence the name.

 

 

 

1, Slice the cucumber first VERTICALLY, use two chopsticks as guards, and cut only about 80% of the height of the cucumber, DO NOT cut through;

2, Flip the cucumber, and slice the opposite side DIAGONALLY the same way, cut no more than 80% of the height;

3, Once both sides are scored, stretch out the cucumber and coil into a plate;

4, In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, salt, chopped garlic, sugar, chili oil if you like, pour over the cucumber coil;
