As seen in http://ift.tt/1PkDGIn

Ingredients:

• 1 Japanese Cucumber, washed, scrubbed to remove pointy parts
• 1 tablespoon, lightly Fried or Roasted Garlic

Marinade:

• 1 tablespoon Light Soy Sauce
• 1 tablespoon Apple Cider
• 1/3 tablespoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil
• a dash of Worcestershire Sauce (optional)

How to do it:

1. Cut cucumber into 2cm thick or into 4 parts then halved, lenghwise, whichever you prefer.
2. Put all cut cucumber into a ziploc bag or a container.
3. Add roasted garlic and marinade to the cucumber.
4. Squeeze out excess air from ziploc bag, if using.
5. Refrigerate it for about 4 hours or till ready to serve.
6. Turn the bag around or give the cucumber slices a stir occasionally to make sure all the pieces get well marinated.
7. Place pickled cucumber in a dish and served with some of the marinade.

Note:

• You can add some Japanese La Yu or Chilli if you want it to be spicy.
• Fried or Roasted Garlic adds fragrance but will not overpower the pickled cucumber with a strong garlic smell.  You can use raw garlic if you like though.
