Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

½ cup white sugar
¼ cup water
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 clove garlic, crushed
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup rice vinegar
8 ounces udon noodles, or more to taste
2 English cucumbers, sliced
1 large shallot, thinly sliced
½ red bell pepper, thinly sliced
½ small Thai chile pepper, minced

Steps:

  • Combine sugar, water, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar and salt are dissolved, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Stir in rice vinegar to make dressing.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook udon noodles in boiling water, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender yet firm to the bite, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain. Rinse with cold water and drain.
  • Transfer udon to a large bowl. Add cucumbers, shallot, red bell pepper, and Thai chile pepper. Pour dressing into the bowl; toss until salad is evenly coated. Let stand to marinate, at least 20 minutes, before serving.

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

I'm not sure why this recipe is called Thai cucumber salad. It doesn't have any Thai ingredients.

This salad is so versatile. You can add or remove ingredients to suit your taste. I like to add a little bit of chopped peanuts for extra crunch.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover udon noodles. It's also a great side dish for grilled chicken or fish.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and always turns out delicious. I like to add a little extra spice by adding a pinch of red pepper flakes.
