Ingredients
1tablespoonfreshly grated of fresh ginger
2green onions,finely chopped
1tablespoonsoy sauce
1teaspoonsesame oil
Juice of 1 lime
1organic English cucumber
1bunch fresh cilantro,leaves removed
1fresh red chili,seeds removed
1tablespoontoasted sesame seeds,as garnish
Method
In a small bowl whisk together the ginger, green onion, soya sauce, sesame oil and lime juice.
To make the cucumber noodles, you can use a mandoline, a julienne peeler or a spiralizer. I prefer to use a handheld spiralizer create long noodles from the cucumbers. It works almost like a pencil sharpener.
If using a mandoline, adjust the julienne blade to the desired setting and carefully run a cucumber down the blade, slicing the cucumber to form thin noodles.
If using a julienne peeler, run it lengthwise until you reach the core then turn a ¼ turn and repeat all the way around.
Transfer the cucumber noodles to a bowl and toss together with the dressing. Add the cilantro and red chili and gently toss again to combine. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and serve. Enjoy!
