Anleitungen
Pickled Onions
- Peel and slice the onion into very thin rings and place them in a canning jar. Put the water, vinegar, honey, and salt in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
- Pour the mixture over the onions, make sure all onions are covered, seal the jar, and let sit at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes.
Cucumber Salad
- Wash the cucumber, smash it with a rolling pin or the bottom of a pot and then cut it into bite-sized pieces.
- Place them in a colander, mix them with a little salt and let them sit for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix the soy sauce, rice vinegar, oil and sugar, season to taste with chili and roasted garlic. Wash the scallions and cut the green part into rings or strips (use the white part otherwise).
- Toast the sesame seeds in a pan with no oil over medium heat for a few minutes until they start to develop some roasted flavors. Then remove them from heat and add them directly to the dressing. Add the cucumber and scallions, stir well, and serve with a few pickled red onions on top.
