We were served with this cold Japanese cucumber dish as appetiser at Tin Tai Fung Chinese Restaurant the other day. Though cucumber is quite a tasteless food, the way this dish was prepared made the cucumber really tasty. The sliced cucumbers tasted sweet, a tad spicy and aromatic (from the sesame seed oil), cold, crunchy and whet one's appetite easily. I think the ingredients used to marinate the sliced cucumbers are sesame seed oil, a dash of salt, some fried garlic and some red cut chillies... and in go the sliced cucumbers into the fridge. This appetiser is best served chilled. I am going to try this dish coz it's not fattening, is quite a healthy dish and fills you up too!
