This sweet, tart, and spicy salad is a quick way to add flavor and crunch to any Chinese or Chinese-inspired meal.
|  | | | | | This Chinese-style cucumber salad is inspired by a salad that comes from the mountains of northern Yunnan Province, which sits just at the southern edge of the Tibetan Plateau. Many cooks in that area make a rich, flavorful cucumber salad by putting rock sugar and dried chili flakes on top of fresh cucumber, then dousing them in hot oil, to melt the sugar and crisp the chili. Add some dark vinegar and a touch of soy sauce, and you have something wonderfully flavorful with just the right amount of spice.
While I love that salad, I find that heating oil in a wok (or even a small pot) is often more work than I want to do for a weeknight meal. So recently, I started making my own version. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Apple Fritter Bread | | Studded with apple and layers of streusel, this quick bread recipe tastes as good as it looks. | | | | | | | | | FOLLOW US | | | | | |
