Fried Cucumbers

Description

Suitable for both holidays and everyday meals. Fried cucumbers are made using two different recipes—you can choose just one or make both at once. The cucumbers will taste completely different. In the first case, the cucumbers are fried for just over a minute: heat the oil with spices for 20 seconds, then add the cucumbers and keep stirring; next, sprinkle everything with sesame seeds, and after another 45 seconds pour in the soy sauce, stirring vigorously. Then add chili pepper and remove from the heat. That’s the Asian version! The second version with onion and wine is European! Give it a try, good luck, and you can serve it warm or chilled.
