Ingredients

• Sandaizu Mixture:
• Cucumbers, sliced paper thin
• Salt to taste
• 1 c rice vinegar
• 1 c dashi
• 4 tbls soy sauce
• 2 tbls sugar

Preparation

Step 1

1. Season the cucumber slices and knead lightly for a minute. Let stand in bowl.

2. Combine all Sandaizu ingredients in a sauce pan and bring to a gentle simmer while mixing. Once the sugar is dissolved, cool the dressing rapidly by pouring into a bowl set in a larger bowl filled with ice water.

3. Drain cucumbers. Pour enough Sandaizu sauce to moisten the cucumber slices. Gently squeeze and drain a second time to eliminate excess wateriness. Serve at room temperature and add more Sandaizu sauce if desired.
