Stir-fried Chinese Cucumber

Stir-fried Chinese Cucumber is a simple yet flavourful side dish that is commonly served in China. Thin slices of cucumber are quickly stir-fried with garlic, ginger and spices until they are slightly softened but still retain their crunch. The dish is finished with a splash of sesame oil and soy sauce, which give it a savoury, umami flavour. It is a great complement to any Chinese meal and is particularly refreshing during the hot summer months.
