Cucumber salad

I was watching Jamie Oliver's 30 minutes earlier this week and he did this appetiser dish only in 8 minutes! Totally impressed by the amount of time required, I decided to try it yesterday. I took 15 minutes to do the dish though. I am not as speedy as Jamie  =p

Ingredients:
A 2cm piece of fresh ginger
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
1 lime
1 cucumber
A small handful of fresh coriander  (I omitted this)
1/2 a fresh red chilli

Method:
1) Peel and grate 2cm of fresh ginger on to a serving platter and add 1 tbsp of soy sauce, 3 tbsp of extra virgin oil (I used normal virgin oil) and 1 tsp of sesame oil.
2) Squeeze in the juice of 1 lime, then check the seasoning.
3) Use a speed peeler to peel the cucumber in long ribbons over the platter. Discard the watery core.
4) Take a small handful of coriander and finely chop the stalks, putting the leave aside. Sprinkle the stalks over the cucumber.
5) Finely chop 1/2 a chili and sprinkle over. Take to the table but don't toss and dress until you're ready to eat.


Highly recommend to try it. Simply easy, yummy and appetising!!!
