Инструкции
- Cut cooked chicken in strips or possibly shred by tearing (the Chinese prefer the latter because it adds textural interest).
- Peel cucumbers. Cut in half lengthwise and scoop out seeds; then cut in strips.
- Arrange cucumber strips on a flat serving plate; top with chicken.
- Combine mustard, salt and vinegar. Pour over chicken just before serving.
- VARIATIONS: For the cucumbers, substitute 3 C. celery, blanched and shredded. In step 4, add in to the dressing either 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper or possibly a few drops of Tabasco Sauce.
- In step 4, substitute the following dressing: 1/2 tsp. ginger root and 1/2 scallion stalk, both chopped; 1/2 tsp. sugar, 2 tsp. vinegar, 1 Tbsp. peanut oil, 1 Tbsp. light soy sauce and a few drops of sesame oil.
- Slice the cucumbers 1/4-inch thick. Omit the dressing in step 4. Instead make a paste by gradually adding 1/4 c. water to 1/4 c. peanut butter, stirring till smooth. Then stir in 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. sesame oil. Add in to cucumber slices and toss; then top with the chicken.
