Marinated Cucumber Recipe

For some reason, vinegary things seem to go down well. And cucumbers are on the list of the world's healthiest foods. This is my mom's recipe:

1. Wash cucumber well and slice as thin as you can.
2. If you have time, soak the slices in salty water for > 1/2 hour. If you are in a hurry, sprinkle the slices with a little salt, let sit 5-10 minutes, and rinse the salt off.
4. Squeeze out the water.
5. Add sugar, vinegar, and sesame oil to taste. You can also add garlic sesame seeds and/or a little soy sauce.

You can eat this immediately or you can keep it in the fridge. You can do the same thing to asparagus after you cook it in salty boiled water for 5-8 minutes and cool it off naturally or in cold water.
