Sliced cucumber recipe :Spicy Thai cucumber salad

This sliced cucumber recipe I posted is an authentic Thai food recipe. In the past, long-long time ago, Thai cuisine hadn’t got much cooking technics or kitchenwares except a terracotta pot, so the technics applied during that time were boilng, dipping, frying, or salad like this recipe.
