Cucumber salad with garlic
Description
Who said you can't fry cucumbers? In Korean cuisine, for example, they are typically consumed only in this way. For such a simple salad, you'll need fresh cucumbers, preferably medium-sized. The key is to slice them very thinly and evenly. It's best to use a special grater or a vegetable slicer for this. To prepare cucumber salad with garlic, use sesame oil instead of regular vegetable oil. When frying, the oil will be well absorbed by the cucumbers, giving them a distinctive flavor.
