Techniques
- 40 g dried tofu skin
Soak 40 grams of dried tofu skin the day before.
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 tbsp cilantro
- Thai bird's eye chilies
- 1½ tbsp soy sauce
- 1½ tbsp Chinese black vinegar
- 1½ tbsp hot chili oil
- 1½ tsp sugar
- 1½ tsp sesame oil
Make the dressing: grate the garlic finely and combine with the diced cilantro and chilies, soy sauce, black vinegar, hot chili oil, sugar and sesame oil.
- cucumber
- salt
Smash the cucumber, season with salt, toss thoroughly and leave 30 minutes so the salt draws out moisture.
Smashing and salting the cucumber
Cut the soaked tofu skin into short pieces and blanch a couple of minutes, then sift it out and shake off the excess water.
Squeeze the water out of the tofu skin so it does not dilute the seasoning, drain the cucumber and discard its liquid, combine the two with the dressing and mix well.
