A fresh and perfect match in summer - cold cucumber, your taste buds are indeed lucky!
Hey, friends, when you think of summer, do you automatically think of the scorching sun, chilled watermelon, and that cool and refreshing greenery? That's right, what we're going to talk about today is the fresh responsibility on the summer table - cold cucumber! This dish, simple, fast, appetizing and relieving the heat, is definitely an indispensable little luck in summer.
Cold cucumber, a cool code in summer!
Imagine coming home sweaty from outside, opening the fridge and being greeted by a plate of green, spicy and sour cucumbers. At that moment, did all the fatigue and heat dissipate most of it in an instant? That's right, cold cucumber is so magical, it seems to have a kind of magic that can instantly awaken your taste buds, so that you can feel a little cool and comfortable on a hot summer day.
From the selection of ingredients to the seasoning, every step is ingenuity!
1. Let's talk about material selection. Cold cucumber, as the name suggests, the protagonist is naturally a cucumber. But don't underestimate the choice of cucumbers, fresh cucumbers have thin skin, thick flesh, plenty of moisture, and crisp taste, which is the best choice for making cold cucumbers. When you go to the vegetable market to pick cucumbers, remember to pick those with smooth skin, emerald green color, and well-proportioned body shape, so that the cucumbers will taste more refreshing.
2. It is cleaning and cutting. After buying the cucumber, rinse it with water, gently pat it with the back of a knife, and cut it into small pieces or strips. Cucumbers treated in this way are easier to absorb the flavor and are more convenient to eat. Of course, if you prefer to keep the cucumber intact, you can also cut it directly with a knife into thin slices or hob pieces, depending on your personal preference.
3. Seasoning. The seasoning of the cold cucumber is the key, and it determines the final taste of the dish. Generally speaking, the seasoning of cold cucumber includes minced garlic, vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, chili oil, etc. Minced garlic can enhance the flavor and flavor, vinegar and soy sauce can adjust the sour and spicy taste, sesame oil can increase the aroma and luster of the dish, and chili oil can be added in moderation according to personal taste. After mixing these seasonings and cucumbers thoroughly, a cold cucumber with full color and flavor is complete.
Here I would like to share a little tip with you: before mixing cucumbers, you can marinate them with a small amount of salt, which can remove excess water from the cucumbers and make the cucumbers more crisp. At the same time, the salt also allows the cucumber to better absorb the flavor of the seasoning, making the whole dish more delicious and tasty.
Cold cucumber is not only a dish, but also an attitude to life!
After talking about the production process of cold cucumber, let's talk about the meaning behind it. In my opinion, cold cucumber is not only a simple home-cooked dish, but also a manifestation of a life attitude. It represents a casual, natural, and healthy way of life. In the hectic pace of life, we often ignore the beauty and simplicity around us. And the dish of cold cucumber makes us regain that simplicity and purity. It doesn't require complicated cooking skills, expensive ingredients and spices, just a heart that loves life and a pair of hardworking hands to make a delicious dish that will make people linger.
I hope that everyone can be like a cold cucumber, keep a simple, pure heart, and enjoy every moment of life. Whether it is work or study, whether it is family or friends, let us feel and cherish it with our hearts. I also hope that everyone can try the fun of making their own food, because in the process, you will not only harvest delicious food and a full sense of accomplishment, but also discover more about the beauty and surprises of life.
