Make this cold starter/appetizer: Shredded Chicken in Red Chili Oil Poach a chicken in barely simmering water with a large sliced onion, a teaspoon salt amd 6 slices of fresh ginger. Drain and cool. Remove skin and bones and shred the chicken. Refrigerate. (May be done ahead.) Cut 2 medium cucumbers into shreds or julienne. Skin if peel is bitter, seed if necesary. Mix these sauce ingredients in a bowl: 3 TB red chili oil 1 or 2 TB minced garlic 1 or 2 TB minced ginger 2 TB peanut butter 2 TB green onions, chopped 1 TB sesame oil 2 TB vegetable oil 1/2 cup light chicken stock 1/2 tsp salt Arrange cucumber on a serving plate, pile chicken on top, pour the sauce over. -aem |

I'll peel and dice it, add some quartered mushrooms and some diced tomatoes and toss it with ranch dressing or whatever creamy dressing I have. You can also dice a cucumber and mix it with plain yogurt and some cumin. Paul |

Hot and Sour Cucumber (about 4 servings) 2 slender, firm, unwaxed cukes (about 1 lb) 3 Tbsps oil 1 large clove of garlic, quartered 4 dried red chili peppers (little Asian ones) 1 Tbsp soy sauce (I probably started making this with Kikkoman) 2 Tbsps sugar 1/2 tsp salt 3 Tbsps white vinegar Wash and dry the cucumber. Trim ends off, cut in half, and scrape out seeds. Cut into relatively thick julienne strips. Heat pan over high heat. Add oil and reduce heat to low. Add garlic and chilis and stir-fry until the garlic's light brown and the chilis have darkened. Turn heat back up to high. Add the cucumber strips and stir-fry about half a minute or until the cucumber skin turns bright green. Add soy sauce, sugar, and salt and stir for about 5 seconds. Pour into a biwl. Cool and then chill, stirring occasionally. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cucumber to another dish, without the remaining ingredients. Add vinegar, toss to mix well, and chill for about 1 more hour, stirring occasionally. Serve. Oh, there's also sunomono.... -- Jean B. |

It is good just served up, but the most common combinations I see are with mint or ginger. For example: cucumber vodka, muddled mint, a small amount of bar syrup and a bit a of soda water. Steve |
