Step 1

Slice the ends off the mini cucumbers.

Step 2

With the side of the knife, smash cucumbers a few times until they’re a bit flattened and broken down the centre.

Step 3

On an angle, slice cucumbers into long diagonal strips.

Step 4

Transfer to a bowl. Add salt and massage. Allow cucumbers to sit in salt for 5 minutes (or ideally 10 minutes) to draw out excess liquids. Discard liquid.

Rinse cucumbers under cold water to remove excess salt, to prevent it from competing with sauce.

Step 6

Strain the rinsed cucumbers.

Step 7

Season with sauce ingredients and mix well. Enjoy!
