Cucumber Salad

And here's the cucumber salad for the Vietnamese Chicken:

1 seedless (English) cucumber
1/4 c sugar
1/2 white vinegar
Red pepper flakes*

Peel alternating strips of rind away from cucumber. Slice in half lengthwise and remove core. Chop cucumber into bite-size pieces.

Mix other ingredients in small saucepan. Heat until sugar is dissolved. Pour over cucumbers. Place in refrigerator until chilled.

*Usually, just a few shakes of pepper is fine, unless you prefer it a bit spicier.

Bon Appetit!
