Step 1
Prepare ingredients: cucumber, millet pepper, garlic, gingerStep 2
Clean the cucumber, first cut it into three sections, then cut it in half, and then cut it into vertical strips as shown in the picture.Step 3
Put the cut cucumber strips into a bowl and sprinkle with salt to let the water from the cucumber seep out! If you have to wait, it will take a long time.Step 4
Let’s do it: Don’t wait today! It’s time to eat fast food! Put on clean disposable gloves and get started! By repeatedly scratching and kneading in this way, the water in the cucumber will come out quickly!Step 5
Pour out the oozing water. If you feel that the cucumber still has a lot of water, you can rub it again! Because salt is added to the cucumber strips, some friends may add too much salt. You can rinse it with cold boiled water and then control the water, so that it will not be too salty!Step 6
Just slice the ginger, slice the garlic, and cut the millet pepper in the middle! The reason why I didn’t chop the millet pepper is because the millet pepper is too spicy! For someone like me who likes chili but cannot eat spicy food, this is very satisfying! If you like it spicy, you can chop it into pieces!Step 7
Place the cucumber strips in a large container and pour in the chopped ingredients. The general project is basically completed!Step 8

I also learned how to make delicious snacks, so I just brought Yanjing U8 back to my refrigerator. The original ecology has zero additions. It uses advanced hop extraction technology and yeast flavor quality control to make the taste of the wine neutralize the bitter aroma and refreshing taste of the hops. It has a unique aftertaste, is not overpowering and is flavorful, making it truly enjoyable to drink! There is also a thoughtful easy-open bottle cap design. I am really impressed by the details. If you are interested in me, don’t hesitate and stock up now!
