Cucumbers are not my favorite vegetable. Actually, I almost never eat them unless they are in something. Actually, I always pick them out and only eat them in tzatziki and as pickles. Oh well, I like other vegetables, so give me a break! However when I was home, my uncle gave me a bunch of vegetables from his garden and that included two cucumbers. When I got back to my apartment, I thought, what in the world do I do with these? One became tzatziki and the other was turned into this delicious Asian-inspired recipe for Quick Pickled Cucumbers. Yum! I thought they would be a nice light addition to my stir fry!
