I’ve shared some things I have cooked and baked with you Steemians, but there is a few who wanted to see more. Not like I’m pointing anyone in here. The dish I’m sharing with you is something whiches base I learned while working in Chinese restaurant. Cucumber is widely used in Finland, it is the most basic everyday vegetable. But for some reason, Finns never cook it. It is always served raw. So, when I myself first time had cucumber wok I was amazed!

My Chinese boss never cleaned the kitchen, ever. He didn’t think it was suitable for his honor, okay, annoying, but when rest of us cleaned he always made us something to eat. One time it was cucumber and red chili wok and scallops. Damn that was amazing! After that, we never ranted for him not cleaning with us!

This is my own version from that dish, so I really can’t say it is Chinese or anything. This is escaping the hunger, in very delicious way!

So, what do we need?

---

Ofc, it depends how much you want to make! I’m horrible at giving exact amounts but I’ll try to give approximately amounts, it all depends from your own taste in the end.

Cucumber
Red chili
Rice noodles
Cashew
Snow peas
Scallions
King oyster mushroom (or any other shroom you like)
Garlic
Sesame oil
Lime
Coriander

Only cucumber, chili and garlic are mandatory, everything else, just put there things you like! Last time I made this I also fried egg in, worked just fine! Now as we have all the stuff we want to include to our wok...

What now?

---

First, we must make some mise en place! Peal the cucumber, as its skin attends to taste little bitter when heated. Also, cut off the center of cucumber, so you don't end up with wet wok. This is the place we don't like things too moist!

Cook the rice noodles AND cool them extremely well. Nobody likes overcooked noodles! Roast some cashews to get more toasted flavor.

CHOP CHOP

---

Chop everything, this is one pan dish so when you have all your ingredients ready to go, it’s also damn fast food.

---

And then?

---

Let’s start the cooking! Heat the sesame oil and put in garlic, mushooms and chilis. Stir stir. Add some salt in this point already, it will spread more easily at this point.

---

Add cucumber and snow peas. And stir stir!

Add rice noodles and guess what! STIR STIR! When things are heating, add dash of lime juice. Acid of lime really makes a difference and balances out the fat of sesame oil.

---

Add all the rest stuff you still find laying around on your cutting board. There should be some roasted cashews and scallion at least.
Check the flavor of your wok and plate it up! Garnish with shit amount of coriander and ENJOY!

End result?

---

If you made even something what I suggested, you should end up with dish like this. Or at least something similar! This is the first time I shared anything like this, so if you liked it it would be awesome to hear! If you tried it would be amazing to see your cooking! Hope you enjoyed!
