Why is the cucumber in the hotel so fragrant? It turns out that the chef's trick is here. It's crisp and delicious.

Cucumber is no stranger to everyone, especially in this hot summer. A plate of cold cucumber is better than a pot of chicken, duck and fish. Cucumber is very popular. On the one hand, you can eat it directly, stew it cold, and apply it to your face, even saving money on the mask. On the other hand, cucumbers are particularly cheap, especially in summer, which is less than one yuan per catty, especially in our hometown, where every household grows them.

Many times when we go to a restaurant to eat cold cucumber, we will find that the cucumber in the restaurant is particularly crisp and delicious. No matter how hard you try at home, you can't make that smell. Is it different from the cucumber in the restaurant? Actually, it's not. It's just that we have fewer steps to make cucumbers. A few simple steps will make the taste of cucumber worse, and it will feel tasteless. Let me share it with you in detail.

1. Prepare two cucumbers, wash them, then pat them flat, cut them into pieces, put them in a pot, sprinkle a layer of salt on them, marinate them for ten minutes, and then pour out the salt water.

2. Peel a garlic, then chop the garlic cloves into minced garlic, put the minced garlic into a bowl, add chopped green onion, and friends who like Chili can also put a little Chili noodles.

3. Now start to consume some chopped green onion oil, pour the oil into the pot, and add star anise, chopped green onion and ginger slices when the oil is hot. After the chopped green onion and ginger slices are fried to brown, remove all the aniseed from the oil. Now the chopped green onion oil is ready, then pour the hot oil on the garlic, add the balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, salt and thirteen spices and stir well.

4. Pour the prepared juice on the cucumber, add the appropriate amount of coriander and mix well, and a light and refreshing cold cucumber will be ready.

1. Cucumber needs to be flattened first, so that the flattened cucumber will be more tasty. After the cucumber is salted, the taste will be more crisp and the water in the cucumber will be salted out. This is also the way the hotel handles cucumbers.

2. The chopped green onion oil is also the key to the delicious cold cucumber. The chopped green onion oil can enhance the fragrance. Sprinkling hot oil on garlic can also reduce the spicy taste of garlic and increase its fragrance.

Now you know why the cold cucumber in the restaurant is so delicious. These two steps add a lot to the cold cucumber. If you have no appetite in hot summer, try cold cucumber quickly!
