Another "Ingredient Challenge" episode! Here's the idea: I will create a dish around a specific ingredient suggested by one of YOU. I can only use 5 additional ingredients (plus some freebie staples), and I will film me cooking it for the first time, unrehearsed, and I have to do it in 20 minutes! Can I do it?
The idea is that I want to build a repertoire of simple, quick recipes using everyday ingredients that are easy to find. I might use a harder-to-source Thai ingredient but I'll try to keep it that to no more than 1 ingredient per dish.
Today's challenge: Cucumber. I love this challenge because cucumber is a much underappreciated vegetable! People don't really do much with cucumber apart from eating them raw in a salad or sandwich. So my challenge was to actually COOK the cucumber and make it quick and delicious :)
