I had bought a cucumber for poke but couldn't find good maguro, so I decided to try making smashed cucumber instead.
The recipe I used was from Shirogohan...If you can read some Japanese or your computer can translate, there are lots of recipes on this site that are great with rice.
I didn't add the grated ginger as the recipe directs, but will definitely try this again with some grated ginger.
2 cucumbers
2 teaspoons grated ginger
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 teaspoons vinegar
1.5 teaspoons shoyu
1/4 teaspoon salt (if needed)
Smash your cucumbers...video to show you how here
Break the smashed cucumber with your hands into smaller pieces
Grate the ginger
Add the sauce ingredients
Mix well
NOTES: This is great way to relieve stress!
And it is so easy to put together, no cooking involved.
I would make this a couple hours before eating (even maybe a day before), so the cucumber has some time to soak in the sauce.
Definitely making this again...thanks Jenny for the inspiration!
can't wait to try this!

Hahahaha, that V is too funny. Me too, I will try this. I usually have cucumber in the 'fridge to eat with my meals. I just salt them for a day, rinse off and store . Mostly I'm too lazy to make anything fancier, but your recipe sounds easy enough for me. Thanks!!
