I bet you like your cucumbers spicy

The Leisure Study's resident chef, Christine Collins, freshly imported [via interweb] from The Cedar Kitchen in Phili. If you're in the area and hungry, hire her! She makes delicious ubiquitous dishes like this Siracha Spiced Cucumber Salad. Takes 10 minutes and serves 2-4. Get some.

Ingredients:
  • 2 cucumbers, halved and sliced (If you use a garden cucumber, not english style, make sure you peel them, seeding is optional!)
  • 3 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (Tamari or Ponzu sauce work great as well!)
  • 2 tablespoons Siracha (less if you don’t like spice…More if you love it!)
  • 1 handful cilantro
  • salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:

  • Slice up the cucumbers
  • Mix in the sesame oil, vinegar, soy sauce and cilantro
  • Add the Siracha
  • Season with salt and pepper
  • Mix
  • Check for taste! Does it need more soy sauce? Maybe more sesame oil?
  • Enjoy!!
