[quote=JANE01,276609]This is a simple dish but it needs to be prepared half a day in advance. Serves 4 Ingredients 3 cups oriental cucumbers 1/4 cup carrot slivers 3 tablespoons white rice vinegar 5 cloves garlic, finely diced 1 chilli pepper, sliced 3 teaspoons salt 1 teaspoon sugar Method Scrub cucumber skin well (do not peel). Cut cucumbers lengthways into halves, then quarters. Cut crossways into finger-length pieces. Sprinkle 2 teaspoons of salt over cucumbers and carrot. Mix in. Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours (longer time equals more tender vegetables). Rinse off salt and drain. Add remaining teaspoon of salt, rice vinegar, garlic, chilli pepper, sugar. Mix well. Refrigerate for a further 3 to 4 hours, mix and serve. Notes: You can substitute the cucumber with other vegetables, such as kohlrabi, cabbage or Chinese cabbage. For a variation add a teaspoon of finely diced ginger. [/quote]
