Smashed Cucumber Salad Recipe

by Ravi Bhojani

We’ve been making this Chinese-style smashed cucumber salad for years and we can’t believe it’s only gone viral now. It’s a brilliant combo of salty/sweet/tangy/spicy/fresh is quick to assemble and easily devoured in the same amount of time. It’s brilliant for any dish that welcomes a crunchy sidekick or just on its own when you’re after a flavour-packed snack. Find your smashing devices, grab some cucumbers and get ready to relieve some stress.

Ingredients

2 large cucumbers
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tbsp soy sauce
1½ tbsp Chinese black vinegar
2 tsp sugar
2 garlic cloves (crushed)
1 tsp sesame seeds
1-2 tbsp chilli oil (to taste)

Method

Smash the cucumber with a rolling pin so the sides split and the centers become juicy then roughly chop into bite-sized pieces. In a large jar mix all the remaining ingredients and season to taste. Add the chopped cucumbers, then the lid, and shake, shake, shake till it’s all combined and mingling.

Serve it alongside our Satay Chicken, or pile it next to our Sticky Sweet and Sour Pork Stir Fry Kit or just devour as is straight from the jar.

It appears that your voucher belongs to the old Providoor, which, unfortunately, is not us. :(

We understand how much the original Providoor meant to many Australians, especially during the challenging times of COVID. It provided a way to enjoy high-quality meals from beloved restaurants in the comfort of your home. We also understand that some of you may still hold vouchers from the previous iteration of Providoor, and we sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

When the original Providoor, unfortunately, went into administration, we made the decision to purchase the brand because we recognised its significance to so many Australians. Providoor was more than just a business; it was a source of comfort, connection, and joy during tough times. However, while we have revived and rebranded Providoor to focus on delivering gourmet frozen meals from celebrity chefs, we are a completely new company with a different business model and operations.

This means that we do not have any obligation to honour the vouchers issued by the previous company, as those financial liabilities were not transferred to us during the acquisition. We know this may be disappointing news, but please understand that we are committed to making this transition as smooth as possible for our valued customers.

Thank you again for your understanding and for being a part of Providoor’s journey. We are committed to providing you with the highest quality gourmet experiences, and we look forward to serving you in the future.

Warm regards,
The Providoor Team
