COOL CUKES

This is my version of the pickled vegetables they serve at Vietnamese restaurants. I have eliminated the sugar by using Splenda. This is a very refreshing and bright tasting side dish. It goes very well with rice based dishes or grilled meats. FYI - You can buy already prepared matchstick carrots in the grocery store.

Steps:

  • Peel the cucumber leaving small strips of green remaining.
  • Cut in half.
  • Slice halves into 1/2" thick slices.
  • Cut the onion into 1/4" thick rings.
  • Quarter the rings and separate the pieces.
  • Take the carrot matchsticks or half-rounds, onion, and cucumber and place them in a glass bowl.
  • In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar and Splenda.
  • Pour over the vegetables, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • The pickled vegetables need to be used within 24 hours.

  • Thinly slice the shallots. In a small container, stir together the sour cream, white vinegar, dried dill, grated garlic clove, kosher salt, and black pepper. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, thinly slice cucumbers and place them in a colander (if using standard cucumber, peel them first; English cucumbers don’t need to be peeled). Toss the slices with several larger pinches of kosher salt and rest 45 minutes. Remove them from the colander and pat them dry.
  • When ready to serve, gently stir together the cucumbers and dressing (don’t stir too vigorously or it will cause bubbles). Serve immediately or refrigerate up to 2 hours; it gets watery if you refrigerate for too long with the sauce. If you’d like to prepare it in advance, refrigerate the components separately until serving.
