I found this recipe in an old recipe box that I had tucked away. It had been clipped from a newspaper many years ago. Make it ahead of time. The longer it sets, the better it becomes. It can be easily doubled.

How To Make oriental cucumbers

Step 1

Place sliced cucumbers in a medium bowl. (If you have a larger cucumber, you may want to slice it in half lengthwise and remove the seeds, then slice thin)

Step 2

Mix together rice vinegar, sugar, salt and ginger root. Pour over sliced cucumbers.
Step 3

Note: Depending on the size of the cucumbers, you may have to increase the amount of dressing.
Step 4

Refrigerate at least 1 hour - longer is better - stir occasionally.
