Instructions

1. Wash the cucumber well and then beat it with a wide knife (with the flat side!). Proceed as carefully as possible so that little of the cucumber`s juice splashes. If the cucumber skin is broken in most places, cut off both tips. Then halve the cucumber lengthways and cut into thick strips. Now place the cucumber pieces in a bowl and salt with a (not too full) teaspoon.
2. Now heat 2-3 tablespoons (don`t be economical) of vegetable oil in a pan, then crumble the chili peppers and add them to the hot oil. Fry them only briefly (do not let them turn black!) And then let the pan with the oil cool down.
3. Now let the bowl with the cucumber simmer a little until it has lost a lot of liquid due to the salt. Drain the cucumber water from the bowl. First press the garlic cloves flat with a wide knife and then chop them into small pieces.
4. Just before serving, move on to the last step: As soon as the oil has cooled down completely, pour the garlic, a little soy sauce, balsamic vinegar and the oil with the chilli crumbs over the cucumber and mix everything well.
