Asian Cucumber Salad


Easy Asian Cucumber Salad with Furikake

Asian Cucumber Salad is light and easy salad to throw together whenever you are eating Chinese, Japanese, Korean..pretty much any asian meal.  You can throw it together in under 10 minutes and is ready to serve in an hour .  

My kids really love cucumbers so this is always a hiit in our house.  We love the Furikake seasoning , those "sprinkles" you see on the salad.  It's a Japanese seasoning blend made up of salt, sushi nori (seaweed), sesame seeds, dried tuna flakes, ground shiso leaf, salmon flakes, powdered soy sauce or miso, and dried egg.  It sounds a little weird but try a few sprinkles and you'll be hooked!  If my kids will sprinkle it on their tongues directly from the shaker , which they do, I guarantee you'll find it as "normal" as apple pie. 


Asian Cucumber Salad Recipe

6 Persian Cucumbers or one long English Cucumber very thinly sliced
1/2 cup seasoned white rice wine vinegar
1/4 cup sesame seed oil
1 tablespoon white sugar
Furikake Seasoning

After you've cleaned and sliced up your cucumbers Mix the sugar and vinegar until sugar dissolves.
Add your sesame oil stir and pour over cucumbers
Sprinkle generously with Furikake seasoning
Refrigerate for an hour and sprinkle even more Furikake on top when ready to serve

And then sprinkle that Furikake right on your tongue , 'cause you'll want to - that good , seriously!

Enjoy Y'all !
