I’m not sure if Chinese cooking techniques are allowed here but smashing the cucumbers with a rolling pin instead of dicing then adding some salt/rest for 20 mins draws out a lot of excess water and gives the dish a really nice texture (the dish is called pai huang gua). Also, a touch of sesame oil works well too.
Either way, looks delicious and thanks for sharing!
