    This is one of my favorite sides to eat during summer. I'm going to keep this recipe in mind when the nearby farm stand opens up. They always have amazing cucumbers that I can't get the same at any grocery store. I do have a really good Chinese black vinegar at home; I have found though that balsamic is a little closer in flavor, or if someone has both, maybe a 50/50 balsamic-apple cider blend. Black vinegar has a great flavor, and given that it has a near indefinite shelf life I would certainly encourage folks to get their hands on some, but not pass on this recipe if not!

    OMG! Thank you! Thank you! I spent a couple of years going to China often, for work. And of all the amazing food I ate there, this cucumber salad is one of the things I missed the most! I can't believe im now making it at home! Thanks to you!!!🙏🏼 I always wondered what they did to the cucumber to give it that texture! Its amazing!🥰🥰 Thanks again!!

    I've made this salad and eaten it restaurants many times. Last week I had this salad last in a Chinese restaurant and they didn't smash it. I quickly realised that the reason for smashing it isn't only for the flavour to absorb into the cucumber better, but also so that one can grab it with chopsticks better. It was impossible without smashed edges!

    This is a recipe I've been making for a long time! I LOVE it, it's so easy, bright, and fresh tasting, it goes really well with richer dishes like red braised meats.

    Hey I'm new to your channel. I tried this recipe I ate every bite lol. I haven't enjoyed cucumbers for many years. This is one I will make again and again. I also made your shrimp and broccoli so good. I had a carbon steel wok that I used several times but everything stuck to the pan. I followed your steps and wow amazing non stick. thanks for doing your channel and I'm so glad I found it.

    Also a good substitute for zhenjiang black vinegar is balsamic vinegar. They are kind of similar in character and taste. Great recipe Mandy.

    Thanks so much for this recipe! I can’t wait to try it with cucumbers from the summer farmer’s market. I can almost always find black vinegar at H Mart or other Asian supermarkets, sometimes it’s called Chinkiang vinegar. It is such an amazing flavor, I highly encourage anyone making this recipe to try to seek it out.

  • @LT-pp1je

    As Mandy said don’t mix until ready to eat. I’ve made mistake by preparing it early and eating much later. Cucumber will continue to release liquid so dressing gets diluted

    • @LinkCable679

      So sorry re your allergies but I after years of munching Chillies had anaphylaxis to them a couple of weeks ago so now, any Chilli, Paprika, Chyenne Pepper etc out
      It is, really challenging to find safe alternative as for eating out what a nightmare when all you get told is seasonings been added.
      I do not know about you but folk think it is just a choice I do not like heat not a, real allergic reaction
