Step 1 of 2
Sesame Cucumber Salad
Peel the cucumbers. Cut into quarters lengthwise; if the seeds are bitter, scrape them out and discard. Then cut crosswise into 1.5cm (½-inch) pieces.
Step 2
Place the cucumbers in a serving bowl and sprinkle with the salt. Toss with the sesame oil, seasoned rice vinegar, basil (if using), and chilli flakes. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and serve.
