About

The Copycat Din Tai Fung Cucumber Salad is a refreshing, crisp side dish that emulates the famous appetizer from the renowned Taiwanese restaurant chain Din Tai Fung. This salad includes thinly sliced cucumbers marinated in a light, tangy dressing made with soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, and a touch of sugar for balanced sweetness. The salad is finished with a sprinkle of red chili flakes and toasted sesame seeds for an additional kick and nutty flavor. It's a simple, yet deliciously flavorful dish that's perfect for cleansing the palate before a meal or as a light and healthy snack. Best served chilled, this cucumber salad is a hit at picnics, potlucks, or as a side to any Asian-themed dinner.
