PAN-FRIED CUCUMBER
This is an extraordinary way of cooking cucumber, revealing an unexpected side to the vegetable. Although cooked in a wok, the cucumber pieces are colored by laying them more-or-less flat against the surface of the wok, a method known in Chinese as jian (pan-fry) rather than chao (stir-fry). From the Revolutionary Chinese Cookbook.

Steps:
- Cut the cucumber in half lengthwise and then, with the knife at an angle, cut each half into slanted, almost semicircular slices about 1/4 inch thick.
- Heat the wok over a high flame until smoke rises, then add the oil and swirl around; add the cucumber and fry for a few minutes until the slices are tinged a little golden. Spread the slices out so they cover as much as possible of the bottom of the wok, turning from time to time.
- Add the chili and garlic to the wok and stir-fry until fragrant, adding the soy sauce as you go; splash the vinegar around the side of the wok and mix well. Add the herbs and stir a few times; then, off the heat, stir in the sesame oil and serve.
FRIED CUCUMBERS
My husband isn't crazy about fried green tomatoes, but he loves these. This is a different and easy way to use up all the cucumbers in the garden! They can be dipped in ranch dressing, horseradish sauce, or salsa.

STIR-FRIED CUCUMBERS
An inexpensive Chinese side dish. It is very quick to cook. I make this often, and sometimes add a chopped onion together with the cucumbers. The black beans I buy in an Asian supermarket, they are soya beans and salted. The recipe is from a Ken Hom cookbook

STIR-FRIED CUCUMBER WITH TOFU
This vegan take on the cucumber and pork stir-fry offers the perfect level of acid to balance out the spice. Cooked quickly over high heat, cucumbers become juicy, with a lovely silky texture that is still crisp to the bite. Salting the cucumbers before stir-frying is essential, as it draws out moisture and allows for more of the garlicky umami flavors of the sauce to be soaked up. The tofu delivers heartiness, while the hint of Sichuan chile flakes takes this dish to another level.

Steps:
- Place cucumbers in a bowl, add 1 teaspoon salt, and gently massage the pieces. (This helps to release some of the water.) Let stand for 10 to 15 minutes until the cucumbers are slightly wet and pliable to the touch.
- Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together all the ingredients with 1 tablespoon water.
- Prepare the stir-fry: Heat a wok or a large skillet over high. When smoking hot, add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Add the tofu, season generously with salt and pepper, and stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes until the tofu is partly golden. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. Wipe the wok or skillet clean, and keep off the heat until the cucumbers are ready.
- Drain the cucumbers and rinse under cold running water. Drain well, then pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
- Heat the wok or skillet back over high heat. When hot, add the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Add the garlic and allow to sizzle for just 10 seconds, then toss in the cucumbers, stir-frying for 2 minutes. Return the tofu to the wok and toss well.
- Add the sauce and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until the cucumbers look glossy. Taste and season well with salt and white pepper. Top with scallions and sesame seeds, and serve with rice, if using.
PORK AND CUCUMBER STIR-FRY
Steps:
- Using a sharp knife, cut the pork into thin slices. Whisk 2 tablespoons of the soy sauce, the cornstarch, salt and white pepper together in a medium bowl. Add the pork and mix well.
- Cut the cucumbers crosswise in three pieces. Using the flat side of a large, heavy knife, lightly crush the cucumber pieces, then tear them into chunks; discard any loose seeds.
- Heat the canola oil in a very large cast-iron skillet or wok over high heat until nearly smoking. Add the pork and spread it in an even layer. Cook, undisturbed, until well browned on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Add the ginger and garlic and stir-fry until very fragrant and the pork is nearly cooked through, about 3 minutes. Add the cucumbers and stir-fry until the cucumbers are hot, about 3 minutes longer. Stir in the scallions and the remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce; season with salt and white pepper to taste. Serve right away with rice and sambal oelek.

Steps:
- Note - the orginal recipe didn't have ingredient amounts. When I submitted the recipe, Zaar wouldn't take it without amounts, so I just estimated. I haven't tried this recipe, and I'm just posting as a request from one of the message board topics. So go easy on the ratings and please provide tips.
- Select cucumbers that are firm and preferably thin-skinned and small-seeded.
- Peel, if you wish, slice into 1/8" slices and dip in beaten egg mixture (the eggs with milk). Dredge in flour or preferably Italian seasoned bread crumbs.
- Fry in margarine or vegetable oil till browned on both sides.
- Drain on a paper towel, salt and pepper and top with Parmesan cheese. A great appetizer or side dish.
- Note - hot sauce in the egg mixture or cayenne in the flour or breadcrumbs might kick it up a bit.
