    I make a version of this at home – smashed cumber salad is amazing. I prefer the technique of placing them in a plastic bag and smashing with a rolling pin, you get more shaggy/craggy chunks of cucumber!

    While I prefer other varieties of cucumbers and more colorful peppers, there is absolutely nothing wrong with Pole cucumbers and green peppers if that's what you like. Some people truly can't afford yellow or red peppers or English cucumbers (which at my grocery are typically 2-3x more expensive).

    I don't think it's recognized just how talented RPL is. Yes, she makes tasty recipes, but I don't think people appreciate enough how technically sound and innovative her recipes are. For example, in this video she walks you through why she chose specific varieties of cucumbers for the salad, and then why she chose to smash them. Throughout her entire catalog, you can tell what an artisan she is when it comes to vegan food. Not only is she extremely well-educated on the history and science behind food (both vegan and non-vegan) but she has the creativity, intelligence, vision and boldness to know when and where to try new things to create a recipe that is not only interesting but delicious. Just look at her decision to add vegan milk to her vegan egg recipe or how she created her own meat for her Crunchwrap Supreme. Such a talent! We really are lucky to have her sharing her gift with us!

    I was recently at my local Pan-Asian market looking at Gochujang. And noticed a container with no writing on it other than what it says it is. And then to the right all the containers said “hot“, and the next stack to the right said, “very hot“. Next stack, "very very hot". And one more stack to the right, it only had the label in Korean, and the package was redder. I have to assume it said, “Burn you face off“. Lol
    By the way, I'm a self admitted BABY MOUTH.

    I don't use any oils when cooking or eating at home. would skipping the sesame oil make a big difference? I love the idea of this salad but all the iterations I have seen use oil.

    Oooo I can’t wait to make this! For the last year I’ve been making my meals more veggie central, and I’ve got to the point now where I can go for a whole week not using meat in anything without even thinking about it. Having flavorful recipes on hand has been crucial in making it happen. Thank you! 🙏
