SPICY JAPANESE CUCUMBER SALAD

This recipe was adapted from 2 recipes on Cooks.com and then I added my twist!

2 med. cucumbers
1 t soy sauce
1 Leek
1 T white vinegar or rice vinegar
1 t sugar
2 t sesame oil
2 T Tabasco * (for your taste)
1/2 tsp. salt
2 slices fresh ginger, finely chopped or slivered
1 T toasted sesame seeds

Peel skin off cucumbers and ends. Remove seeds (if you like) Slice cucumbers lengthwise in thin ribbon like slices.

Slice leek in a similar way- lengthwise and thin slices.

Marinate in mixture of remaining ingredients. Chill in the marinade an hour or longer (even overnight). Occasionally toss the cucumbers to make sure it covers them.
