Stir-Fried Sesame Cucumbers


Serves: 4
Total Calories: 73

Ingredients

2 cucumbers
salt
1 1/2 tablespoons sesame oil
1/4 teaspoon sugar

Directions:

1. Peel cucumbers and cut in half lengthwise. Scoop out seeds with a spoon then cut crosswise in 1/2-inch slices.

2. Arrange slices on a flat plate and sprinkle well with salt. Let stand 1 hour then squeeze each slice gently to press out as much moisture as possible.

3. Heat sesame oil. Add cucumbers and stir-fry until softened and translucent (1 to 2 minutes).

4. Then stir in sugar and serve at once.

NOTE: Because of their semicircular shape, these are sometimes called Cucumber Moon Slices.
