When your backyard is stuffed with cucumbers, flip them into a fast pickle and use them as a crunchy ingredient for sesame noodles. Reduce the cucumbers (I take advantage of a number of, like for pickling or micro-kitting) into lengthy kernels and brine them for half an hour in rice vinegar whilst you make the ginger dressing and prepare dinner the noodles. By the point it is throughout, the cucumbers are prepared. They preserve their vibrant inexperienced colour and recent crunch whereas absorbing the sturdy flavors of the brine. Lo mein noodles in a dish, out there at most supermarkets, are lengthy, fluffy egg and wheat noodles that solely require a couple of minutes to prepare dinner. When virtually tender, add celery slices, carrots, and matchsticks to boiling water to prepare dinner for 1 minute. They’re within the water lengthy sufficient to melt up a bit, and so they additionally preserve their sting. Drain and rinse the pasta to chill, toss with the sauce, and spoon pickled cucumber spears onto the plate for a refreshing lunch or gentle dinner.
