Smashed cucumber absorbs all the flavors especially well. It is also a good way to get rid of any pent-up aggression.
How to make Sichuanese smashed cucumber salad
Smash the cucumber by hitting it with a rolling pin or the back of a frying pan. To prevent a mess, it is best to do this in a ziploc freezer bag. Break the cucumber into bite-sized pieces and place them in a colander with a bowl underneath or in the sink. Sprinkle with salt and toss well; leave to stand for 10 minutes.
Mix the garlic, vinegar and sesame oil in a large bowl and add the cucumber. Serve immediately; if you leave it standing for too long, it will become slimy.
