Directions
Gingered Cucumber Salad With Scallops, from today’s ny times, this is light and very easy to make cooking and prep times do not reflect the 1 hour marinating time if you’re using rice wine vinegar do not add the water , I had somewhat of a catastrophe in the kitchen when I attempted to make this My fridge has an uneven temp and half of my cuke was frozen It still tasted fine, so used it Then when I went to shake tumeric on the onions as they sauted, the lid fell off and most of what was in the container fell in I decided to serve the cucumbers as a cold salad instead and didn’t continue with the rest of the recipe Just so you know, the marinade and cukes are wonderful on their own I followed the marinade / dressing recipe using seasoned rice vinegar, only adding a bit more ginger (used minced, not fresh) than the recipe specified I do intend to make the recipe as intended, but I have to buy more tumeric first since all of it went into the pan with the onions I’m giving the cucumber/marinade portion of the recipe 5 stars because it was yummy and a great alteration if you don’t have shrimp or tumeric or you don’t want to cook on the stove Hope this helps , from today’s ny times, this is light and very easy to make cooking and prep times do not reflect the 1 hour marinating time if you’re using rice wine vinegar do not add the water
