  • About

This easy salad is more like a relish and can be made according to your own taste: very spicy, which is how I like it, or quite restrained. Its virtue is that it can refresh almost any dish. Look for palm sugar in Asian or Indian markets, or substitute Mexican piloncillo or raw brown sugar.

Ingredients

  • 4 large cucumbers
  • Salt and pepper
  • Vietnamese fish sauce (nuoc mam) or Thai fish sauce (nam pla)

Method

Peel the cucumbers, cut them lengthwise in half, and remove the seeds with a spoon if they are large. Slice the cucumbers into thickish half-moons and put them in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, sprinkle lightly with fish sauce, then add the ginger and a couple of tablespoons of palm sugar. Toss well, and let the cucumbers sit for 5 minutes or so.
