Air Fried Cucumbers Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the vegetable oil in a large heavy skillet over medium high heat. Line a plate with a paper towel; set aside.
• Roll the cucumber slices in the cornmeal. Fry the slices in the hot oil, a few at a time, until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the cucumbers to the prepared plate; sprinkle with salt to serve.

Steps:

• Cut the cucumber in half lengthwise and then, with the knife at an angle, cut each half into slanted, almost semicircular slices about 1/4 inch thick.
• Heat the wok over a high flame until smoke rises, then add the oil and swirl around; add the cucumber and fry for a few minutes until the slices are tinged a little golden. Spread the slices out so they cover as much as possible of the bottom of the wok, turning from time to time.
• Add the chili and garlic to the wok and stir-fry until fragrant, adding the soy sauce as you go; splash the vinegar around the side of the wok and mix well. Add the herbs and stir a few times; then, off the heat, stir in the sesame oil and serve.

Steps:

• Note - the orginal recipe didn't have ingredient amounts. When I submitted the recipe, Zaar wouldn't take it without amounts, so I just estimated. I haven't tried this recipe, and I'm just posting as a request from one of the message board topics. So go easy on the ratings and please provide tips.
• Select cucumbers that are firm and preferably thin-skinned and small-seeded.
• Peel, if you wish, slice into 1/8" slices and dip in beaten egg mixture (the eggs with milk). Dredge in flour or preferably Italian seasoned bread crumbs.
• Fry in margarine or vegetable oil till browned on both sides.
• Drain on a paper towel, salt and pepper and top with Parmesan cheese. A great appetizer or side dish.
• Note - hot sauce in the egg mixture or cayenne in the flour or breadcrumbs might kick it up a bit.
