Garlic Cucumber Salad

    Very tasty! You only get the slightest hint of the chicken broth, although I'm sure the recipe would suffer if you substituted something else. I served it with "Szechuan Noodles with Pork" and it made a lovely contrast to the peanut-butter, gingery taste of that dish.

    Garlic Cucumber Salad, Also known as ‘Suan yi huang gua’, literally ‘Garlic Cucumber’. I lived in China for over a year and picked up this simple and tasty salad! It traditionally calls for dark vinegar, but I prefer it with white., Very tasty!
