Cucumber Namasu
2 to 3 cucumbers
1 tablespoon plus 1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
Slice cucumbers in half. Remove the seeds if they are large. Slice in thin
diagonals. Sprinkle with the 1 tablespoon of salt and place in a bowl. Let
stand for 20 minutes. Rinse, drain, and remove excess water by putting the
cucumbers in a kitchen towel and squeezing out the water. Combine the
sugar, vinegar, remaining salt, and ginger. Pour over the cucumbers and
chill.
