A pickled cucumber
A pickled cucumber is a traditional accompaniment for appetizers such as spring rolls or for barbecued foods. It is prepared by slicing the cucumber into quarters lengthwise and then into thin segments, while the chilies are sliced thinly after removing the seeds. The shallots and water chestnuts are also finely chopped and combined with ingredients like rice vinegar, sugar, red onion, fish sauce, cilantro, and red spur chili. This mixture is served fresh and can be refrigerated for two to three weeks.
