How to eat cucumber and how to use it

Cucumbers have many methods such as cold dressing, raw eating, salting, soup, boiling, stir-frying, etc., and I would like to talk about my experience.

In Kung Pao Chicken, vegetables are often made with diced lettuce, and if you use diced cucumber instead, the taste is better.

Cucumbers have no raw taste, but they are unpalatable when they are pooped, so don't cook them when making soup, just put the cucumber slices at the bottom of the bowl and pour the eggs, meat slices, meatballs, etc. on top of the cucumber slices. If you want to stir-fry, start with a few spatulas on high heat.

Tip: After soaking the instant noodles, add a few slices of cucumber to avoid the fried taste.
