Cucumber Salad (Yaam Taeng Kwa)

Well, I'm definitely on a roll with some of my favorite Thai dishes. So, couldn't resist, had to share this one with you as well. It is a fantastic dish to make for those hot summer days, or even to take to an office party or potluck. If you make it hot and spicy with the red chilies, make sure you let folks know before they take a big bite - trust me! Also - make sure when you're slicing the chilies that you do not touch your face to avoid any burn - I suggest even wearing some gloves.

Ingredients:
  • 2 cups cucumbers, peeled and sliced
  • 1 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 hot red chilies, thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1/2 cup warm water

Directions:

  • On a serving platter, arrange cucumbers, red onion, and chilies in layers.
  • In a bowl, mix the sugar, vinegar, and water and stir until the sugar is dissolved.
  • Pour over cucumbers.

Can be covered with plastic wrap and stored in the refrigerator for up to several hours before serving.

Serves 2
