Crispy Cucumber & Green Onion Stir Fry

Ingredients

- 2 medium cucumbers, sliced
- 4 green onions, chopped
- ¼ cup rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Instructions

1. Prep the Cucumbers and Green Onions:
Begin by washing and slicing the cucumbers into thin rounds. Chop the green onions, separating the white and green parts. Set aside.

2. Prepare the Stir Fry Sauce:
- In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, granulated sugar, and salt until the sugar dissolves completely. This will be the tangy sauce for your stir fry.

3. Heat the Oil:
- In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering, approximately 2 to 3 minutes.

4. Stir Fry the Cucumbers:
- Add the sliced cucumbers to the hot skillet. Stir continuously, allowing them to cook evenly and slightly crisp at the edges, which should take around 4 to 5 minutes.

5. Add Green Onions:
- Stir in the white parts of the green onions first, cooking for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant. Follow with the green parts to add a burst of freshness.

6. Incorporate the Sauce:
- Pour the prepared vinegar sauce over the vegetables. Stir well, ensuring that all the ingredients are coated. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and clings to the cucumbers and onions.

7. Serve:
Serve the stir fry immediately for optimal texture and flavor, preferably alongside steamed rice or as a topping for a simple noodle dish.
