Ingredients: Cucumbers - 2, sesame oil - 2tbsps, black sesame seeds - 1tsp, white sesame seeds - 1tsp, garlic cloves - 2, red chilli powder - 1tbsp, dark soy sauce - 1tbsp, crushed peanuts

Method: This recipe can best be achieved with a julienne peeler as the crisp and slim texture of julienned cucumbers is the perfect fit for the recipe at hand. Use the julienne peeler to shave noodles off of the cucumbers. Be careful with your fingers and how you hold the cucumber. Now heat the sesame oil in a pan and add in the black sesame seeds, white sesame seeds and grated garlic cloves. In goes the chilli powder next after which the Asian tempering is to be carefully poured over the cucumber noodles. Add the dark soy sauce to this followed by a pinch of salt. Give the cucumber noodles a good mix with a light hand. Be mindful not to add the salt till the very last step, right before eating as it can make the crisp noodles rather soggy. Top this off with the crushed peanuts.
