做法

分步操作

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.
约 5分钟
烹饪提示： 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.
约 15分钟
烹饪提示： 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.
约 2分钟
7
Whisk the dressing vigorously until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is well combined.
约 1分钟
烹饪提示： 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.
约 2分钟
烹饪提示： 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.
约 1分钟
12
Refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and for the salad to chill thoroughly.
约 30分钟
烹饪提示： 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.
烹饪提示： Toasting sesame seeds briefly in a dry pan over medium heat until fragrant enhances their nutty flavor significantly.
