A refreshing cucumber salad with a spicy wasabi kick, perfect for a quick and flavorful side dish.
In a mixing bowl, combine the wasabi powder with a small amount of warm water to form a paste. Let it sit for a few minutes to develop its flavor.
Allowing the wasabi to sit enhances its spiciness and aroma.
Add the rice vinegar, sugar, and sesame oil to the wasabi paste. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Taste the dressing and adjust the sweetness or acidity to your preference.
Peel the cucumbers if desired, then slice them thinly. Place the slices in a serving bowl.
Use a mandoline slicer for evenly thin cucumber slices.
Thinly slice the scallions and add them to the cucumbers.
Include both the white and green parts of the scallions for a balanced flavor.
Pour the dressing over the cucumbers and scallions. Toss gently to coat evenly.
Mix just before serving to keep the cucumbers crisp.
Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the salad as a garnish.
Toast the sesame seeds in a dry pan for a few minutes to enhance their flavor.
Serve the salad immediately and enjoy its refreshing and spicy flavors.
Pair with a chilled beverage for a refreshing experience.
