Hey Sheldo - I just discovered your channel today. Please do make more videos. They're really well put together and you have a great presence. It looks like you stopped half a year ago. I really do hope you're doing okay.
I love the idea of remixing raita into a smashed cucumber salad. However, I'd highly recommend leaving the spices, especially the coriander, as a coarse powder. If you roast it gently and thoroughly and let it sit in the yogurt for a bit after crushing, the flavors will infuse but also leave amazing crunchy pockets of freshness that'll take the salad to the next level. Coriander especially will have a fresh citrusy flavor you'll want to shine through that becomes more floral and less fruity the finer its ground.
I’m definitely going to make the Greek version for sure! I think I will also add some feta cheese on top for the salty pop. Thanks for sharing your amazing recipes!!😊
I dont normally leave comments but I just wanted to say the Sheldo's special is I think my favourite sauce ever. I've used it on cucumber, chicken, with rice and an egg. Love it! thank you so much for your amazing content
I bought 3 English cukes from Costco as I just needed one at the time, and was convenient. But with only the two of us, wanted to use them up before they spoiled. Well, I found my recipes! The "Sheldo Special will be my 1st dish. Thanks for the inspiration.
Cant stand cucumbers but watching so i can make for my husband…i guess that’s love! Actually in watching this i thought i would love to see a similar video but with different base ingredients. Ex: boneless skinless chicken breast. It’s not sexy but such a common meat here in Canada and I would love to make it more delicious as we have probably 1x per week
I want to use the first three sauces as substitutions for when I make hiyashi-chuka (perfect for hot summer days). Honestly, just making the smashed cucumber salad and then adding cool soba noodles and hiyashi chuka fixings would take any of these into full meal territory!
I was looking for summer side dishes to go with grilled meats that are low-carb. These are perfect! Any suggestions for a low-carb substitution for oyster sauce?
I love how each variation has the perfect combination of sweet, salty, sour, and umami (also spicy!!). Fricking flavour bombs!! My favourite is the Korean cucumber salad, oi-muchim, with Korean red pepper flakes, garlic, and sesame seeds. Spicy, nutty, and garlicky!
Ooo I love oi-muchim!!!! So simple and delicious. Thought about including it in the video but Maangchi already has a perfect recipe for it so I didn't bother hahaha.
@@sheldoskitchen I love that you mentioned Maangchi! Between her, Adam Liaw, and now you, I have a support system when my meals have just gotten too boring and are in dire need of flavor.
I made the Sheldo special, and the Galion version. Both were fabulous! I added a little more vinegar to the scallion version and it had such a nice refreshing pop. My nine-year-old, who swears he hates cucumbers, tried it and was a big fan, and came back for more. Thanks for the great recipes!
hi!!! i started with the classic one bc i was in need of something fresh and light as a side dish and i loved it. i made the one with scallion infused oil yesterday and now i want to eat it every single day!!! i really enjoy watching your videos sheldo, youre just so professional in explaining things yet so cute and nice. this is my comfort channel on youtube and i want to make every recipe you post. greetings from Poland!
Ugh these look delicious. I can't get the sesame peanut smashed cucumber salad out of mind after being introduced to it at a Sichuan restaurant i went to, so excited to try it myself
Hey Meg!!! So glad you enjoyed the salad. Cheers! And aren't you glad the heat didn't last for very long? I'm definitely enjoying the cooler weather while it lasts :)
To my friend EL' Sheldo, No matter how many times I watch your videos, I am simply amazed how easy you make it look. A born natural. Very well articulated and simplified videos. We need you back my friend. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos.
LOVE, LOVE LOVE your recipes! Made them All with wonderful results! My search for the ULTIMATE chocolate chip coolie is over. Basque cheesecake is over the top! The bang bang chicken is soooo YUMMY! All the recipes are superb! Thank you SO much! My family thinks I am a genius cook! 👩🍳
I discovered your Channel only 3 weeks ago, we tried every version of your cucumber salad and LOVE it. Your way of explaining things is amazing and easy to follow. Would really appreciate you coming back but wishing you the very best either way :)
I'm of Swedish origins-I celebrate Midsommar-Summer Solstice. I often make a shrimp, cucumber, creme fraiche, green onion, dill salad. Smashing the cucumber instead of slicing it-Great Idea! Thanks.
You must be busy bro, I miss your videos. Going to make your potato buns for the 5th time this weekend. Been using dehydrated malt extract for beer making instead of sugar and they come out excellent *chef kiss.* Someone actually asked me to make them for their going away party this weekend. Hope you're having a great summer!
Started making the traditional to go with some scrambled eggs. Realized I didn't have any chili oil so substituted 1 tsp of sirracha and 1 tsp of vegetable oil. Very tasty!
Oh my goodness! I just made the Sheldo Special and served it with jasmine rice topped with a bit of furekake and a poached egg. Seriously best spicy cucumbers I’ve ever had! Yum! Thank so much for sharing. Don’t forget to check that Mexican version I mentioned in my earlier post!
You nailed this ! By far The most comprehensive recipe on the net 😎 I do have a request if you could share your recipe on Hainanese Chicken Rice on how to get the Perfect textured chicken without it being undercooked 🙏
I made a variation of the classic as a component of a spam musubi poke bowl. Threw it together when I needed a meal that didn't require a grocery run, and I had one single giant cucumber to work with. It was unreasonably tasty.
I happened to be looking up a recipe for stabilizing whip cream and found you. And I have enjoyed every single one of your videos (going to be trying a few of them in the future!). You are a delight to listen to and you have been such a big help. Thank you for your videos and I hope to see more in the future!
I can’t wait to try ALL of these! I live in Texas so those last two seem like perfect summer salads. There is also a Mexican version you should check out; very refreshing and flavorful. Thanks for sharing!
These past 2 years (during pandemic) my family and I have been consuming cucumber almost everyday. We believe that this is the safest veggies for gerd patient, it is delicious and I surely needed this recipe for variation!! It is good for saving money too. Thank you for making this tutorial sir. You're helping people surviving the economy collapse by eating right and on budget. Please do make more videos like this!
I like how you often suggest subsiding for less frequent ingredients in north america or flavors that are often disliked (like hot peppers or cilantro). I can’t wait for cucumber season 😅
Btw, when it is cucumber season I quickly don’t know what to do with that many fresh cucumbers. I only knew salads with lettuce, greek salads or the yogurt one. I’m very happy to have other options!
My fav is by "CuiHong", their regular chili oil. One way to tell a good Sichuanese chili oil is to look at what base oil is used. An authentic one will be made with Rapeseed Oil. It's the oil of choice for all chili oils in Sichuan. It may be more rare to find than common chili oils made with veg or peanut oil. If you find one w/ Rapeseed, then you know for sure that it was manufactured in Sichuan.
The Raita is supposed to be more liquidy than you made.....it kind of looks like a dip/thick buttermilk kinda consistency & cucumber chunks are meant to be small as the onions in the raita.
We miss you Sheldo! Please come back!
Amen
@@hughstinnette1771 me coming back to check in if he has posted anything yet :(
Agreed, these are my favorite cooking videos I’ve seen (a little better than Ethan chlebowski who I thought was a god)

Cool thanks for the tip! The lil pops of lemony coriander sound lovely. I’ll try leaving the spices more coarse next time!
@@sheldoskitchen Miss your videos! Hope you are doing well and are happy ❤
@sheldoskitchen missing you so much!!! Loving your recipes!! 💖
I’m definitely going to make the Greek version for sure! I think I will also add some feta cheese on top for the salty pop. Thanks for sharing your amazing recipes!!😊
Hey Sheldo, any idea when we'll be getting more of your great videos? We miss you! I hope everything's okay!
A dream come true. Five different cucumber salads in one video. So easy, yet so delicious. 😋😋
Just discovered him today … see this video was 10 months ago…. Anyone know what happend ? His content is solid.
I made the spicy peanut one. So tasty. Thank you so much for the tasty recipe ❤

Hi Sheldo! I hope everything is well. I am eagerly awaiting new videos. Your recipes, content, and videos are all really great.
Cucumber salad is underrated. That Sheldos special looks fire, ima have to try it. And Greek, I haven’t made Greek cucumber salad enough.

Love the recipes! I miss when you jumped on screen after the intro
Hope you are doing well Sheldo, you have great content.
Sheldo you are fantastic! I made scallion oil the other day and used leftovers to make your cucumber salad. WOW. Just fantastic.
Thank you so much
Just in time for our Vancouver heat wave! Thanks, Sheldo!
Haha seriously!!! Not planning on turning the stove on this weekend.
Sheldo’s comeback😤 i hope you’re doing good but please comeback! We need you
THANK YOU!!! I was searching for summer salad recipes, and lo and behold, Sheldo serves up some gold! So grateful to you for sharing your genius!
You are so welcome Matt!!! Hope you give some of these salads a try.

Love the idea of jazzing up boneless skinless chicken breast! I'm planning a video on different things to make w/ rotisserie chicken as well!
These all look so tasty! I’m definitely trying your ‘special’ version this week
When are you coming back with more videos?
I hope you are good Sheldo. Miss your videos, no new ones for 4 months? :(
Sheldo! I really miss your content. Are you planning on releasing any more videos?
Sheldo, are you coming back?
Wow that was so useful and looked very appetising. Thank you.
You’re very welcome!
When you coming back?…. 😢

Where did you go? Hope life is good and too busy for youtube.
I'm going to have to try a few of these, but especially the Sheldo’s Special. That looks SOOO good.
Give the recipe of sponge cake with cream frosting please
SKIP MSG!?!? Haiya… -Uncle Roger
Hahaha agreed that it's essential but some people are REALLY anti-MSG. They're just missing out on flavour :P

I've been eating a lot of cucumber lately and was starting to get burned out. I needed some inspiration and this was perfect. Thank you so much!
I can't wait to try these! Just added ingredients for scallion oil to my grocery list, thank you!
Hope you enjoyed the salad!
first
🏆🥇🥰

NEED to try your sheldo’s special sauce on a stir fry right now!!
It would be perfect for that!!!
I thought exactly the same thing! Or maybe a noodle sauce!!!
it's too hot in Vancouver today so i picked the raita one to try first. it's delicious, cooling and refreshing.
Ugh these look delicious. I can't get the sesame peanut smashed cucumber salad out of mind after being introduced to it at a Sichuan restaurant i went to, so excited to try it myself
Your videos are amazing! I hope you come back and make more!!! :)
Bro, this video is banging. You are the fucking man.
The cucumber salads look so refreshing and delicious! I love the variety. I can't wait to make them.
Not sure where you went. I hope you are doing well. You are very missed.❤
This video somehow wants to make me run to the store and come back with a lot of cucumbers. :)
Thank you for making the ingredients easy to find!!!
I just had this for dinner! How did youtube know?
hey man hope you are doing well. take care of yourself!
Or you can eat it way sooner while it's slightly warm with some ice cream
Great work Sheldo
Sheldo - I just made the peanut version. No pictures though as it disappeared pretty fast 😁 thanks from metro van
Hey Meg!!! So glad you enjoyed the salad. Cheers! And aren't you glad the heat didn't last for very long? I'm definitely enjoying the cooler weather while it lasts :)

It's cucumber season here in Upstate NY, so I came to grab this. Realized hadn't seen a new vid from you. Hope all is well.

Been using dehydrated malt extract for beer making instead of sugar and they come out excellent *chef kiss.* Someone actually asked me to make them for their going away party this weekend.

Ooooh! These look so delicious! Looking forward to having a cucumber feast this summer.
SHELDO ▪︎ RECIPES ▪︎ YUM 😋
You nailed this ! By far The most comprehensive recipe on the net 😎
I do have a request if you could share your recipe on Hainanese Chicken Rice on how to get the Perfect textured chicken without it being undercooked 🙏
I made a variation of the classic as a component of a spam musubi poke bowl. Threw it together when I needed a meal that didn't require a grocery run, and I had one single giant cucumber to work with. It was unreasonably tasty.
greek salad without feta?
i hate cucumber. its the brine for me.
Your voice sounds like it belongs to a gentle, goofy bear with manners.
Please please help me find the actual product that you used for the chili oil in Sheldo’s special. I’m trying to cook for a dear friend.
I happened to be looking up a recipe for stabilizing whip cream and found you. And I have enjoyed every single one of your videos (going to be trying a few of them in the future!).

Hope you give some of the salads a try and that you enjoy!!! I eat so many cucumbers and it's usually mainly in salad form!
cried and screamed irl i can;t believe sheldo is gone :( oh... we miss you !!
I have a love hate relationship with cucumbers, so i am cautiously optimistic about trying all of these
We eat tons of cucumbers. Never thought of smashing them. Thanks! 💙
I also make mine with peanut butter! I was obsessed over peanut butter noodles a few months ago and then started making my sides with it too
Your recipes always end up delicious. I always make them when you release a new one and they are good.
Can't wait to try these with our homegrown cucumbers!!
Yes, Sheldo!! This looks amazing!! Thank you for sharing! 💕
That looks yummy 🤤
Amazing!! I'll have to try a couple of these this summer ❤
Yummmmmmmm 😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋 Thanks for sharing these recipes!!! ❤️
What's happening? No new recipes?!
I absolutely love cucumbers 🤤 I'm going to have to try these salads
Wow, the sheldo special is absolutely insane.
cucumbers!!
I have made one of these every day this week for my extended family and they've all been a hit!! thank you for this perfect summer side!!!
Sheldo what brand of chilli oil do you use?

The Raita is supposed to be more liquidy than you made.....it kind of looks like a dip/thick buttermilk kinda consistency & cucumber chunks are meant to be small as the onions in the raita.
It’s a salad with the flavours of raita, not actual raita
mm good! 😋😋
I want that green onion sauce on everything!
These look amazing. I do have a quick question please. Is it toasted sesame oil in the sauces that call for sesame oil? Thank you!
Yes it’s toasted! For all Asian recipes, toasted sesame oil is always the right choice.
