Smashed Cucumbers Preparation

1. Cut unpeeled cucumbers in 1/4-inch slices. (If cucumbers are large, cut in half lengthwise, then slice.) Crush, by pounding decisively once or twice, with the side of a cleaver or the bottom of a glass. (Leave the cucumber slices intact.) 2. Add any of the dressings below and toss. 3. Refrigerate, covered, only to chill (about 20 minutes). DRESSINGS: 1 slice ginger root, minced, placed in a saucepan with 2 tablespoons sugar and 4 tablespoons vinegar, then brought to a boil, stirring. 2 scallions, minced and marinated 1o minutes in half a cup of vinegar. (Just before serving, sprinkle cucumbers with salt and pepper to taste.) 1 garlic clove, minced, combined with 2 tablespoons vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon salt. (Just before serving, sprinkle cucumbers with a few drops of sesame oil.) VARIATION: Instead of crushing the cucumbers, peel and either slice very thin or sliver.
