Smacked Cucumber Noodles

Ingredients

Method

  • 1 cucumber
  • 100g rice noodles
  • 2 tsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp tahini
  • 2 tsp rice wine vinegar
  • ½ tsp Sichuan peppercorns, toasted and crushed
  • Pinch of chilli flakes
  • Pinch of sugar
  • 10g chopped coriander
  • Lightly smack the cucumber with a rolling pin, until splitting. Scrape away the seeds and cut into chunks, then place in a sieve and sprinkle with salt. Leave to drain over a bowl. Meanwhile, cook the rice noodles according to package instructions, then rinse with cold water and set aside.
  • Whisk the tahini, soy sauce, vinegar, peppercorns, chilli and sugar in a bowl. Rinse the cucumbers well to remove the excess salt, then add to the dressing with the noodles and chopped coriander. Mix well and serve in bowls, with more chilli flakes on top if you fancy.
