Equipment

  • Mandoline Slicer
  • Deli Quart Container

Ingredients

  • 1 English cucumber, sliced on a mandoline
  • 1 Tbsp red onion, sliced on a mandoline or chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, grated on a microplane
  • 2 tsp soy sauce or Aminos
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp Ume plum vinegar (see article and notes for links)
  • 1 tsp chili oil (from Chili Crisp) (see article and notes for links)
  • Sesame seeds

Instructions

  • Using a handheld mandoline, slice your cucumber into a quart deli container. I like slicing mine a little thicker - using this mandoline I sliced at a "1".
  • Slice red onion and add to the container, followed by 1 grated garlic clove.
  • Add soy sauce (or aminos), Ume plum vinegar (or rice wine vinegar), sesame oil, chili oil, Sriracha, and sesame seeds.
  • Place the lid on the container and shake away! Shake until all contents are entirely combined. Enjoy straight from the container or transfer to a serving dish.
