This quick Sichuan pickle is perfect served alongside grilled meat, roast pork or a stir-fry.

Ingredients

  • 3 baby cucumbers
  • 3 tsp finely chopped garlic
  • 1 tbsp

Method

Using a small rolling pin, smack the cucumbers so they break into pieces. Alternatively, slice in half lengthways and then rip into pieces with your hands.

In a medium bowl, mix together the remaining ingredients and toss gently with the cucumbers. Serve within an hour or so of making.
