Cucumbers in a spicy marinade are one of the fastest and most affordable dishes. And this traditional Chinese snack is probably one of the champions in culinary minimalism. And in the reliability of the result. These cucumbers are good for everyone. It is better to take thin-skinned fruits with small seeds for this dish. Traditional summer pimply cucumbers from the Russian garden in a sesame-vinegar marinade fall apart into their components - vegetable meat and seeds. To diversify the texture of the dish, you can sprinkle sesame seeds into the cucumbers, for example.
