材料
材料
- 2 個cucumber, thinly sliced
- 0.5 小さじsalt
dressing
- 0.5 カップrice vinegar
- 2 大さじsugar
- 1 小さじsoy sauce
garnish
- 1 小さじsesame seed, toasted
調理器具
Mandoline slicer (お好みで) · Chef's knife · Cutting board · 2× Medium mixing bowl · Small bowl · Whisk
作り方
手順
- 1
Thinly slice the cucumbers into uniform rounds, approximately 1/16 inch (1.5mm) thick, using a mandoline or a very sharp chef's knife.
約5 分
調理のヒント: Achieving consistent thickness is key for even marination and a pleasant texture. If you don't have a mandoline, take your time with a sharp knife for the best results.
- 2
Place the sliced cucumbers into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
- 3
Sprinkle the salt evenly over the cucumber slices.
- 4
Toss the cucumbers gently to ensure they are well coated with salt.
- 5
Allow the salted cucumbers to rest for 15 minutes at room temperature, which will draw out excess moisture.
約15 分
調理のヒント: This crucial step prevents the salad from becoming watery and ensures the cucumbers remain crisp after dressing.
- 6
While the cucumbers are resting, prepare the dressing by combining the rice vinegar, sugar, and soy sauce in a small bowl.
約2 分
- 7
Whisk the dressing vigorously until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is well combined.
約1 分
調理のヒント: Ensure the sugar is fully dissolved to prevent a grainy texture in the dressing.
- 8
After 15 minutes, firmly squeeze the cucumbers by hand to remove as much water as possible.
約2 分
調理のヒント: Alternatively, place the cucumbers in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and twist tightly to wring out the liquid. The more water you remove, the crisper your salad will be.
- 9
Transfer the thoroughly squeezed cucumbers to a clean serving bowl.
- 10
Pour the prepared dressing over the cucumbers.
- 11
Toss the cucumbers gently to ensure every slice is evenly coated with the dressing.
約1 分
- 12
Refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and for the salad to chill thoroughly.
約30 分
調理のヒント: Chilling not only enhances the refreshing quality but also allows the cucumbers to absorb the dressing's flavors more deeply.
- 13
Just before serving, sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the chilled Sunomono.
調理のヒント: Toasting sesame seeds briefly in a dry pan over medium heat until fragrant enhances their nutty flavor significantly.
