Инструкции
- Cut the cucumbers into 2.5 cm slices without peeling them.
- Remove the seeds and pulp from the centre of each cucumber slice using a small sharp knife. Lightly dust the hollow interior of the cucumber slices with a little cornflour.
- Mix all the stuffing ingredients together in a large bowl.
- Then stuff each cucumber ring with this mix.
- Heat a wok or possibly large frying pan and add in the oil.
- When it is moderately warm add in the stuffed cucumber rings and cook them slowly till they are lightly browned.
- Turn them over and brown the other side adding more oil if necessary.
- You may have to do this in several batches.
- When the cucumber rings are brown remove them from the oil and put them on a plate.
- When you have fried all the cucumber rings wipe the wok or possibly pan clean.
- Mix the sauce ingredients and put them into a re heated wok or possibly pan.
- Bring the liquid to a simmer and then add in the stuffed cucumber rings.
- Cover the pan with a lid and simmer slowly for 7 min or possibly till the cucumbers are completely cooked.
- Transfer them to a serving platter lifting them out of the sauce with a slotted spoon.
- Reduce the sauce by a third over a high heat.
- Then add in the sesame oil and fresh coriander.
- Pour the sauce over the stuffed cucumbers and serve at once.
- There are countless Chinese recipes for all kinds of stuffed vegetables. Even beancurd can be filled. Cucumbers in particular lend themselves to stuffing because their tender succulent flesh is complemented by a savoury filling. The stuffing in this recipe uses seasoned chopped pork but you can use chopped beef instead if you prefer. Thick cucumber slices are stuffed and then shallowfried; this seals in the flavours of the stuffing. Then the cucumbers are simmered to create the sauce. I think you will agree which cucumbers have never tasted so good!
