Ingredients

Cucumber (if using a mature cucumber, peel it, wash it, and cut it into pieces) 6 liang

Dried shrimp (rinse to remove dust and soak) 5 qian

Finely chopped scallions 1 qian

Finely chopped ginger 1 qian

Instructions

Step 1

Rinse the dried shrimp to remove any dust and place them in a small bowl. Add a pinch of boiling water, just enough to come level with the shrimp, and soak. Wash the cucumber; if using a mature cucumber, peel it first. Cut it into strips 1 inch long and 3 fen wide.

Step 2

Place a wok over the stove and heat the cooking oil until hot. Stir-fry the chopped scallions and ginger for a few moments. Add the dried shrimp and stir-fry briefly, then add the cucumber and fine salt. Stir-fry for about 1 minute, then serve.
