Wasabi Diced Apple Cucumber
A quick, light appetizer/side dish that you would like as a refreshment, especially if you love the special flavour of wasabi.
Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 0 minutes
Makes: 4-6 servings
Ingredients
1 apple cucumber (about 300g-350g)
1 tsp wasabi paste
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp raw sugar
1 tsp teriyaki sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
some fresh Johnny Jump-Ups (optional)
Method
I chose apple cucumber because it's my own-grown, you can use whatever cucumber you like.
Peel off cucumber skin, remove seeds.
Cut cucumber into 2 cm pieces, drain them and dry them using kitchen paper.
Put them in a bowl, mix with 1 tsp wasabi paste, 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar, 1 tbsp sugar and 1 tsp teriyaki sauce, whisk until sugar dissolved. Finally, mix well with sesame oil.
You can use rice vinegar to replace balsamic vinegar, and add more wasabi paste if you like to have a stronger spicy flavour.
Refrigerate for an hour if you like to serve it cold side dish, otherwise, it can be served at once as diced cucumber can easily absorb flavour.
Put some edible fresh Johnny Jump-Ups on top for better presentation before serving.
