Ingredients

2 english cucumbers
2 Tbsp lemon juice
2 Tbsp rice vinegar
2 Tbsp soy sauce
pinch of dashi stock granules (optional)
2 tsp sugar
1 tsp sesame oil
3-4 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds

Steps:

1. Cut the cucumbers in half lengthwise, and scoop out the seeds with a teaspoon. Cut up the cucumbers into bite-sized pieces.
2. Toast the sesame seeds in a dry frying pan, shaking occasionally, until a few seeds pop. Immediately transfer the seeds to a plate.
3. Mix the lemon juice, vinegar, soy sauce, dashi stock granules and sugar together until the sugar has dissolved. Taste, and add a pinch of salt if you think it needs it. Add the sesame oil.
4. Combine the cucumbers with the dressing and the sesame seeds. Serve right away or leave to marinate in the refrigerator for a stronger flavor.
