I miss and love Taiwanese food. Just got some small cucumbers that were on sale and was glad to find this simple yet delicious recipe. Can’t wait to check out other recipes you have.

i tried this out a month or so ago as a side dish for dinner. it was easy & pretty good! i am not taiwanese, but my husband is, and it’s always cool to find recipes that will remind him of home. i’ll be sure to try out some other ones on here as well! thanks!

gdlemaire, I usually get the Taiwanese, Korean, and sometimes Persian cukes in Flushing, Queens in NY. Have you tried looking in the Chinese or Korean markets in Dallas cause I don’t find those cukes in the American markets, except Persian at the nicer markets.

Hi,
Where are you finding such a large variety of cucumbers? I often see Kirby’s and hot house English but Taiwanese? Persian? Korean? I live in the Dallas area with a large Asian population and lots of stores but they mostly have Kirby’s (which I admit I love), but have found the Persian’s around lately but they are $4.99 a pound! Love to hear your sources.

I used to eat this salad all the time when I lived in Beijing. Most places there add hot chili oil or flakes-really refreshing on a hot summer day when the wind and sand are blowing in from the Gobi!
