step 1
Cut the cucumbers into 4cm lengths and then cut each chunk into wedges. Put each piece under the flat of a cleaver and smack down on it with your hand. Cut or scrape off the seeds and put the pieces into a sieve and sprinkle over a little salt. Leave them for 30 minutes and then rinse and pat them dry.
