Sweet and Sour Cucumber Slices image

I love these cucumbers. This recipe comes from 'A Spoonful of Ginger' by Nina Simonds who says that cucumbers eaten during the summer dissipate heat. They also are considered to have diuretic and laxative effects. I can't really attest to all that but I can tell you that these slices are really tasty.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 lbs pickling cucumbers or 2 seedless English cucumbers, rinsed
1 cup clear rice vinegar
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger

Steps:

  • Trim the ends of the cucumbers and slice them lengthwise in half, then run the tines of a fork several times down the length to creat a slight decoration on the skin.
  • Scoop out the seeds with a spoon and cut the cucumber halves into 3-inch sections; cut the sections, along the length, into almost paper thin slices and place in a bowl.
  • Mix the remaining ingredients; add to the cucumbers and toss lightly to coat the slices.
  • Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes; serve cold.

These cucumbers were a bit too sour for my taste, but I think that's just a matter of personal preference. They were still good and I would definitely make them again.

These cucumbers were a bit too sweet for my taste, but otherwise they were good. I think I'll try making them again with less sugar next time.

This recipe was a hit! The cucumbers were perfectly crispy and the sauce was sweet and tangy. I added a little bit of cayenne pepper for a bit of a kick and it was perfect.
