Cucumber is the best vegetable. It's so fresh, so crispy, so... perfect. Me and my partner almost eat 1 cucumber daily, it's insane really.

i have to check this out, sounds delicioussss

It is!
The secret ingredient is the dark Chinese vinegar which imho is to die for, especially when blended with the sesame seed oil.
The chinese black vinegar is a bit special though, my partner is not that into it so I simply pour extra on my serving😅
Recipe I go with is dead simple and idiot proof:
- smash the whole cucumber with something (I use a rolling pin, but its a high risk the cucumber breaks which may or may not be your thing)
- cut into fun pieces
- put in a bowl
- add chinese black vinegar, sesame seed oil, garlic, light soy, chili flakes
There's more advanced versions but this is fresch umami enough.

Good to know :), carrot, tomato is a common theme here when you buy a sandwich.

carrot on a sandwich should be worth a debate

Thinly sliced or finely shredded? I'd go for the slice.
