Method
Step 1: Lay the cucumbers on a board and smash gently with the flat of a knife or a rolling pin until they split. Tear into rough bite-size pieces.
Step 2: Toss with the salt and leave in a colander for 10 minutes to draw out water. Pat dry.
Step 3: Whisk the garlic, black vinegar, soy, and sesame oil together.
Step 4: Toss the cucumbers in the dressing, then spoon over the chilli crisp and sesame seeds. Serve straight away while cold and crisp.
