Chinese Crabmeat And Cucumber Salad

1. 1

   Pick over the crabmeat and discard all bits of shell and cartilage.

2. 2

   Peel the cucumbers and cut them lengthwise in two.

3. 3

   With a small spoon, scrape the seeds out of each half, leaving hollow, boat-like shells.

4. 4

   Shred the cucumbers, not too fine, with a cleaver or large, sharp knife.

5. 5

   In a small glass or porcelain bowl, combine the vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, pepper and sesame-seed oil, and mix well.

6. 6

   Add the cucumbers and crabmeat; toss to coat thoroughly with the dressing and chill slightly - no more than an hour - before serving.
