Cucumber Kinpira

Ingredients (for 2 people)

2 cucumbers 2 teaspoons ginger
1/2 tablespoon of sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon mirin
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tbsp sesame

Cut the cucumber into julienne. It is easier to slice diagonally, stack 4 to 5 sheets, and cut from the edge.

Heat sesame oil in a frying pan, mix cucumber and ginger and fry.

When it becomes soft, add sugar, mirin, and soy sauce, and boil down while mixing so that it spreads throughout.

When the juice is gone, turn off the heat, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and mix to finish.

The crispy, chewy cucumber texture is pleasant! Combined with the sweet and spicy seasoning, it has a lingering taste.

Sesame is fragrant and has a crunchy texture to add an accent. It deepens the flavor and finishes it with a timeless taste.

If you get tired of eating cucumbers raw, give it a try! It's perfect for both rice and sake snacks.
