• 5 small cucumbers (Mark usually carves the skin into a decorative pattern, leaving most of the skin intact. Don’t seed or peel the cukes.)
• 2 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 Tbsp rice vinegar

• 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds
• 2 tsp sugar (refined or raw)
• 1 tsp+ Sriracha hot sauce, to taste
• 1/2 Tbsp vegetable oil

directions

Cut the cucumbers widthwise into thick slices, about 3/4 inch thick. Combine the remaining ingredients, except the vegetable oil, and mix them well. Pour over the cucumbers and marinate for just 10 minutes or so (for example, while cooking the recipe above!) Add vegetable oil to HOT wok. Add cucumbers (without any leftover marinade) and stir-fry until they begin to brown and the sauce is thickened.
