I'm on a mission to eat more vegetables!
We had those amazing Thai Chicken Nuggets the other night, but I knew we needed more than just rice and meat for dinner. I ended up creating two Thai-inspired veggie dishes to accompany it. They were both quick and easy and ended up being incredibly refreshing. There's something about eating hot main dishes with cold sides that is just pleasantly rejuvenating. These cucumbers are spicy with the combination of red pepper flakes and ginger, yet at the same time they are light and cool. Low in calories and full of nutrients, it really is a great recipe to keep on hand.
Ingredients
1 cucumber, peeled and diced
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tsp freshly minced ginger
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1/4 tsp salt
a pinch sugar
Instructions
1. Combine all of the ingredients in a small bowl. Stir to combine well and let marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving.
