Chinese cucumber salad, also known as "liangban huanggua," is a refreshing and simple dish commonly found in Chinese cuisine. Made with thinly sliced cucumbers and a flavorful dressing, it is a perfect side dish to complement a variety of Chinese dishes.
To make Chinese cucumber salad, first, the cucumbers are thinly sliced and marinated with salt for about 20 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Then, the cucumber slices are squeezed to remove the water and mixed with a dressing made of vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, garlic, and chili oil. Finally, the salad is garnished with chopped cilantro or peanuts for added texture and flavor.
This salad is not only delicious but also healthy as cucumbers are low in calories and high in fiber. The dressing ingredients, such as garlic and chili oil, also have health benefits, including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
In addition to its unique taste, Chinese cucumber salad also offers health benefits. Cucumbers are rich in water and fiber, which contribute to hydration and digestion. Garlic also has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties and can help strengthen the immune system.
In Chinese culture, Chinese cucumber salad is often seen as a symbol of simplicity and humility. The simplicity of the ingredients and preparation reflects traditional Chinese philosophy, which emphasizes simplicity and harmony.
The Chinese cucumber salad is the ideal snack for the summer. Unlike German cucumber salad, the Chinese always beat the cucumbers. The advantage is obvious: due to the many cracks and irregular structure, the cucumber pieces can absorb much more sauce and marinade. The cucumbers taste much more savory.
Of course, we cannot neglect the chili-garlic dressing. It's all about finding a balance between spicy, sweet, and sour. Fresh garlic and our fragrant oil 香油 round off the taste perfectly.
