Step 1
Place the cucumber on a wooden chopping board. Smash it along its length using a heavy pestle or rolling pin until it splits open. Slice diagonally into 3–4cm (roughly 1–1.5 inches) pieces and transfer to a medium bowl. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and set aside for 15 minutes, then drain off any excess liquid.

Added thinly sliced cabbage for more green and sambal oelek to finish. Also didn’t have like so subbed apple cider vinegar. It was good! Reminiscent of Vietnamese fresh rolls

So refreshing and filling at the same time. Perfect for hot days. At first, I ask myself why the cucumber had to be prepared that way, but the crunchiness was well worth it😊
