Thai Cucumber Salad for Satay (Ajaad Recipe)

Ingredients

• 5 oz or 1 cup cucumber (thinly sliced, see notes)
• 2 oz or 1/2 cup shallots (thinly sliced)
• 1 chili (adjust to taste)
• 5 tbsp white vinegar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup white sugar

Steps

1. 1

   Thinly slice the cucumber into bite-sized half-moons, dice the shallots into small pieces, and finely slice the chili. Aim for uniform sizes. Add the sliced cucumbers, shallots, and chili peppers to a mixing bowl and set aside.

2. 2

   Heat a wok or skillet over medium heat. Add vinegar, salt, and granulated sugar, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Bring to a boil and let it simmer for about 5 minutes or until the sauce slightly thickens.

3. 3

   Remove the sauce from the heat and allow it to cool completely. Once cooled, pour the sauce over the sliced vegetables in the mixing bowl, toss gently, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
