This is a copycat recipe off of the P F Changs website. After a single review, it has been determined that the soy sauce and vinegar are out of balance and should be switched around. Use 3 tbsp vinegar to 1 tsp soy sauce.

Tips:

Use a mandoline or sharp knife to slice the cucumbers as thinly as possible. This will help them absorb the marinade better and cook evenly.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different vinegars in the marinade. Rice vinegar, white wine vinegar, and apple cider vinegar all work well.
If you don't have time to marinate the cucumbers for the full 30 minutes, even a quick 10-minute marinade will still infuse them with flavor.
Be careful not to overcook the cucumbers. They should still be slightly crunchy when you eat them.
Serve the cucumbers immediately, or store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Conclusion:

P.F. Chang's Shanghai Cucumbers are a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer or side dish, give this recipe a try.
