A nice, standard recipe was posted for Thai cucumber
salad was posted by Cathy recently. I make mine
with basically the same ingredients, but I use the smaller
pickling cucumbers and equal parts water, sugar, and
vinegar. I also let the boiled mixture of sugar, water,
and vinegar cool before adding it to the cucumbers. Once
it is cooled, I pour it over the sliced cukes and sometimes
refrigerate them until serving time, when I add minced
Thai peppers, some chopped peanuts, a few cilantro leaves,
oh yes, and a few small slices of red onion or shallot. This
salad goes great with a lot of Thai meals, especially satay,
and is a nice accompaniment for many other summer meals.
Cheers!
