Spicy Cucumbers

Directions

1. 1
   Slice the cucumbers lengthwise, so that each piece has skin on it.
2. 2
   Do not use the center of the cucumber, where the seeds are (it gets too mushy).
3. 3
   Peel the garlic and smash it (with a knife, for example).
4. 4
   Each clove should look like you dropped a dictionary on it.
5. 5
   Heat the oil on medium-high in a wok or similarly shaped saucepan.
6. 6
   When the oil is hot, add the pepper, garlic, and cucumbers.
7. 7
   Stir fry for 30-40 seconds, until hot.
8. 8
   Add the soy sauce, rice wine, rice vinegar, and hot sauce.
9. 9
   Mix well.
10. 10
    Heat to a boil, then remove from heat.
11. 11
    Although you can eat it now, it will taste better after marinating overnight.
12. 12
    Best served cold.
