Ingredients

3 large cucumbers, peeled, halved lengthwise, seeded, and cut into 1/4-inch slices
1 tablespoon salt
0.5 cup white sugar
0.5 cup rice wine vinegar
2 medium jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped
0.25 cup chopped cilantro
0.5 cup chopped peanuts

Instructions

Place sliced cucumbers in a colander, sprinkle with salt, and let drain for 30 minutes to remove excess moisture. Rinse thoroughly with cold water, drain well, and pat dry.
In a bowl, whisk together sugar and rice vinegar until the sugar is completely dissolved. Add the drained cucumbers, sliced jalapeños (if using), and fresh cilantro. Toss gently to combine. Garnish with chopped peanuts immediately before serving.
