Ingredients

  • 750 g cucumbers about 2
  • 1 Tbsp groundnut or vegetable oil
  • 1 Tbsp fresh ginger finely chopped
  • 2 Tbsp spring onions finely sliced
  • 120 ml water
  • MARINADE
  • 1 tsp salt
  • SEASONING
  • 1 Tbsp Lee Kum Kee Black Bean Garlic Sauce or Lee Kum Kee Black Bean Garlic Stir-fry Sauce
  • 2 tsp Lee Kum Kee Chiu Chow Chilli Oil
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • DRESSING
  • 2 tsp Lee Kum Kee Pure Sesame Oil
  • GARNISH
  • 1 bunch of coriander chopped

Instructions

  • Peel the cucumbers, halve them lengthways, then scoop out the seeds. Dice the cucumbers into 2cm cubes. Toss with the salt marinade and mix well.
  • Leave the cucumber cubes in a colander for 20 minutes to drain the excess water. Rinse it in water and blot them dry with kitchen towel.
  • Heat oil in a wok or large saucepan until it is slightly smoking, add the ginger and spring onions, and stir-fry for about 30 seconds.
  • Add the cucumbers and seasoning and keep stirring for another 30 seconds until they are well coated with the spices and flavours.
  • Add the water and continue to stir-fry over high heat for 3-4 minutes until most of the water has evaporated and the cucumbers are softened. Add the garnish and dressing. Serve immediately.
