So by far it is majorly one of the most overpriced dish in a Thai restaurant. Imagine, you are paying $4-$6 for a side of cucumber salad … and it probably should be only 50 cents– MAX! For $4-$6, you can make enough Cucumber Salad to feed you – your kids – your co workers – your mama – papa – your neighbors… whomever for an entire week!
It's so easy to make it's going to make you think twice about ordering that side dish ever again.
2 large cucumbers
1/2 cup of rice vinegar
1/2 cup of sugar
1/4 cup of salt
red onions
chili
When picking out cucumbers, make sure they are hard .. really hard. Hard means it's fresh. Young and crisp. Just squeeze em'. Cut in half – long length wise, and cut into smaller pieces. Add red onions in.. you can use white onions, but it's just not as pretty, you know what I mean? Add red pepper in also if you want, that'll definitely make your salad look SEXY.
Add sugar, vinegar and SALT. Yes, my friends! That's the secret. Adding the salt helps balance the sugar and acidity.
You should probably eat your cucumber salad within 24 hours. These suckers are close to 70% water. So, after too many days in the fridge, you'll notice that your cucumber has developed a lot of liquid. You'll also notice that your salad is a bit whimpy. And who likes a whimpy salad…. That's why it's important to pick a good cucumber…
Enjoy!
