Thai Marinated Cucumbers Recipe

	Jencathen / All my dishes 1 year, 5 months ago We used to eat out at Thai restaurants a lot and usually whenever we ordered something spicy they brought out a small bowl of cucumbers. They would be crisp, refreshing and sweet on the tongue a perfect cooling foil to the spicy food. This version comes from "Sunset Oriental Cookbook."... More Prep:5m Cook:5m Servings:4	Jencathen

Hi Jen, I love cucumbers. They really are a good cool down in the summer. This sounds close to an overnight pickle recipe I used to make for spicy asian dishes... Are you supposed to marinate these for a length of time or serve as is??

I usually put in the fridge for about 2 hours and no more so they keep their crunch.

These are served at my favorite Thai restaurant and they are fabulous. Thanks for the recipe. I will be making these for Sunday dinner, I have a bunch of cucumbers I picked up from the Farmers Market. Great post. You have my 5.

I am all about Thai flavors. And I adore cucumbers. I have them on hand at all times and particularly love the English/hothouse variety. I'll be making these. Thanks, Vickie
