Serving:6 servings

Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup rice vinegar, or more to taste
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil, or to taste
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar, or to taste
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger, or to taste
  • 1 tablespoon minced lemongrass, or to taste
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce, or to taste
  • 2 cucumbers, thinly sliced
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, thinly sliced, or to taste
  • ½ bunch cilantro, coarsely chopped, or to taste
  • 2 sprigs fresh basil, coarsely chopped, or to taste

Cooking Directions

  1. Whisk rice vinegar, sesame oil, sugar, ginger, lemongrass, and soy sauce together in a large bowl. Stir in cucumbers, jalapeno pepper, cilantro, and basil.
Substitute apple cider vinegar (such as Bragg(R)) for the rice vinegar if desired. Peanut butter can work instead of roasted sesame oil in a pinch. Use 4 packets sugar substitute instead of the sugar if desired; I haven't tried them, but fish sauce or hoisin might be great toppings as well; For stronger flavor, refrigerate sunomono overnight.
