Asian Marinated Cucumbers

If I showed you my refrigerator right now you’d gasp at the amount of mason jars full of pickles.  There is alot, it’s kinda frightening at the amount of pickles that are in there.  You would think I’m hoarding pickles for the apocalypse.    Because I can’t fit any more pickles in my refrigerator and I have run out of mason jars I got to thinking what else I could do with our garden cucumbers.    

The only real thing I do with cucumbers is make pickles, but they are a vegetable that I compare to broccoli or peas, so why not marinate them just like I do with those?  Asian Marinated Cucumbers is where the party is!

Asian Cucumbers Recipe

I tried to find a recipe online to help steer the way but it was really hard for me to find any guidance as the majority of all cucumber salad recipes are cold but I wanted something hot that I could serve as a side dish for dinner, or over rice, or even better yet over rice and chicken.  You could totally replace Chinese Takeout Chicken and Broccoli with Chinese Takeout Chicken and Cucumbers and it would be delicious.  

I marinated these cucumbers overnight but if you are rushed for time, a few hours would do the trick.  Marinating them really makes them soak up the sauce.  

Asian Cucumber Salad

My family loves this dish served over rice (always made with our rice cooker).  You could also serve it with a protein, like chicken or tofu too.  Not only does my husband gobble this, but if a toddler eats cucumbers then you know it’s going to be delicious!

If you want to turn this into a Asian Cucumber Salad you could serve it over some Chinese greens!
