Prepare the cucumbers

• Wash the cucumbers and slice off the ends.
• Place each cucumber between a pair of wooden chopsticks and slice on an angle all the way down.
• Flip and repeat on the other side.

Salt and drain

• Put the cucumbers in a bowl and sprinkle with salt to draw out excess moisture.
• Set aside, then rinse and drain well.

Make the sauce

• In another bowl, combine the black vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, sweetener, garlic and chilli oil.
• Add the cucumbers and mix well to coat.

Serve

• Transfer onto a plate and spoon over all of the sauce.
• Garnish with sesame seeds and extra chilli oil.
