Spicy cucumber salad

 This recipe is from our chicken adobo recipe but we make the salad many times a month, especially during the summer.  

1/4 cup white vinegar

1 tbs fish sauce (do not leave this out, it is essential)

1/2 tsp sesame oil 

1/2 tbs sugar

1/2 tsp salt

Asian chili paste, to taste

1 English cucumber, thinly sliced into half rounds

1 small shallot or 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced

Add the vinegar through chili paste to a large bowl, mixing to combine

Add the cucumber slices and shallot or onion and then toss to coat

Let sit in the fridge at least a few hours
