How to make it
- Wash, but do not peel cucumbers. Cut them lengthwise into quarters. Place the quarters in a bowl and sprinkle with salt. Let sit for 30 minutes, then drain and rinse well.
- In bowl combine cucumbers with ginger and red bell pepper and toss to mix.
- Heat a wok over medium-high heat. When it is very hot, add sesame oil and red chili peppers. Stir fry until the peppers turn black, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and remove chilis from oil.
- Combine ingredients for the marinade and stir to dissolve the sugar. Add chilis to marinade. Pour over cucumbers and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Serve chilled.
- Note: You can keep these cucumbers refrigerated for up to two weeks, however remove chili peppers, as will be very, very hot if left in.
