Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium cucumber
- 2 small shallot
- 1 small red chili
- 120 ml white vinegar
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 50 ml water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons cilantro leaves
- 2 tablespoons roasted peanuts (optional)
Instructions
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly, then slice them into thin rounds. Place the slices in a bowl and set aside.
Peel the shallots and slice them thinly. Add the sliced shallots to the bowl with the cucumbers.
Remove the seeds from the red chili if you prefer less heat, then thinly slice it. Add to the cucumber mixture.
In a small pot, combine white vinegar, granulated sugar, water, and salt. Heat over medium flame, stirring constantly, until the sugar and salt have completely dissolved. Once dissolved, remove the pot from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature.
Pour the cooled vinegar mixture over the cucumbers, shallots, and chili. Gently toss to combine and ensure all the vegetables are covered in the dressing.
Chop the cilantro leaves and sprinkle them over the condiment. If using roasted peanuts, sprinkle them on top as a garnish right before serving for added crunch.
Chill the Tang Kwah Ah Jad in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve cold as a refreshing side dish or condiment alongside fried or grilled items like satay, fried chicken, or omelets.
