How to Make Asian Cucumber And Sesame Salad
- Wash and thoroughly dry one large English cucumber. Cut the cucumber lengthwise into quarters. Slice each quarter in half lengthwise, then thinly slice each half lengthwise into strips.
- Place the cucumber strips in a medium-sized bowl and set aside.
- In a small bowl or jar with a tight-fitting lid, whisk together 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon mirin, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, and 1 tablespoon sugar until the sugar dissolves.
- Pour the dressing over the cucumber strips and gently toss to coat.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 2 hours, stirring gently once or twice during marinating.
- Before serving, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds over the salad.
