As already noted, as an alternative to the ingredients that we indicate in the recipe, you can choose more affordable products. Here the most important point is the very technology of preparing the components and preparing the salad itself. And so, we need products such as:
Ingredients:
- Cucumbers (2pcs, Chinese)
- Garlic (3-4 cloves)
- Sauce (rice, 1 tablespoon)
- Soy sauce (1 tablespoon)
- Sugar (1 teaspoon.)
- Salt (1/2 teaspoon)
- Oil (sesame, 1/2 tsp.)
Recipe:
- First, you need to deal with cucumbers. Alternatively, regular, smooth cucumbers without pimples can be used. Cucumber must first be washed, then broken. This is the most important step in the recipe. To do this, you need to put it on a cutting board, then put a knife on top across the vegetable itself and hit the knife with your palm. This procedure must be repeated until the entire cucumber is broken. In the event that you notice that the cucumber is not juicy, then there are two ways out of the situation: either put the vegetables in water for several hours before cooking, or turn the cucumber 90C clockwise and break it again crosswise. After that, we cut the broken cucumber into small pieces obliquely so that the length of each segment is no more than one and a half centimeters. Then, put the prepared cucumber on a plate and mix it with garlic, after chopping it.
- We mix both components and simultaneously add salt to taste.
- Now is the time to prepare the dressing. To do this, mix sesame oil, sauces, sugar and salt, then mix everything thoroughly in a separate vessel.
- Having prepared the dressing, add it to the previously prepared cucumbers and mix again. On this, the preparation is completed and the salad can be served on the table.
- As a substitute for rice vinegar, you can take an apple or table analogue. But, be careful that in this case it will be needed an order of magnitude less, about one and a half to two times.
- You can also replace sugar by using powdered sugar as an alternative, which will soak the salad faster.
- But as for sesame oil, a problem may arise here. If you didn’t find one, then of course you can replace it with ordinary, vegetable (olive or sunflower), but in this case the result will lose a piece of its Chinese origin, but in general, the salad will turn out to be very tasty and nutritious.
Chinese salad for many of us is something unusual and extraordinary. Many housewives are of the opinion that you can taste real Chinese food only in specialized stores, but this is not so!
There are several rules, adhering to which it is quite possible to cook a Chinese dish, or at least a dish very similar in taste to a Chinese one. Firstly, in the national Chinese cuisine, mayonnaise and sour cream are not used for making salads. It is customary to season salads with a mixture of various sauces. Secondly, salt is a very rare ingredient. In most cases, it is replaced with soy sauce. Thirdly, almost always vegetables and fruits used for making salads are either rubbed on a carrot grater in Korean style, or cut into thin long strips.
Professional culinary experts who work in Chinese cream restaurants recommend adhering to one very important rule. Cucumbers for Chinese salads should be chosen only young. In Chinese cuisine, it is not customary to peel the cucumber from the skin and core. That is why if the cucumber is old and overripe, then it can generally spoil the taste of the salad.

Cucumber salad for the winter (video)
