Wow okay so this recipe has the perfect description of how to smash a cucumber. It worked well for me and so I refer you to the recipe for that. So easy!
Additional/alternative ingredients: I used garlic powder, dash of soy sauce and a lime
Alternative recipe:
My friend from China she apparently makes the best smashed cucumber salad. I believe this because she knowssss food.
This is her take: “I smack it, add garlic, dried red pepper, Chinese vinegar, salt, sugar. And mix it well”
She also might fry the ingredients in oil before cooling and adding it to the cold cucumber.
I’m definitely trying her method. I might leave off the frying though because I’m an impatient girl when things are so yummy!
