It's a cucumber and chicken salad dressed with creamy sesame sauce. It's good to serve chilled.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cucumber, julienned
  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 2-3 slices fresh ginger root
  • 1 Tbsp sake
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • *For dressing
  • 4 Tbsp ground white sesame seeds
  • 2 tsp rice vinegar
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 2 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp mayonnaise

Preparation:

Place cucumber strips in a bowl, and sprinkle 1/2 tsp of salt over them. Sprinkle salt over the cucumber and lightly knead by hands. Set aside for a few minutes. Squeeze cucumber to remove the liquid. Boil water in a medium pan. Add ginger, sake, and salt in the pan. Boil chicken breasts until cooked. Drain chicken breasts and tear into thin strips. Mix all the ingredients for dressing in a bowl. Put chicken and cucumber in the bowl and mix well.
