Recipe - Stir-Fried Sesame Cucumbers

2 Cucumbers
Salt
1 One half tablespoon Sesame oil
One fourth teaspoon Sugar

1. Peel cucumbers and cut in half lengthwise. Scoop out seeds with a spoon;
then cut crosswise in 1/2inch slices.

2. Arrange slices on a flat plate and sprinkle well with salt. Let stand 1
hour; then squeeze each slice gently to press out as much moisture as
possible.

3. Heat sesame oil. Add cucumbers and stirfry until softened and
translucent (1 to 2 minutes).

4. Then stir in sugar and serve at once.

NOTE: Because of their semicircular shape, these are sometimes called
Cucumber Moon Slices.
