That viral spiral cucumber

Ingredients

• 1 piece Persian Cucumber (small, about 6-8 inches long, washed and dried)

Instructions

1. Prepare the cucumber

   Rinse the Persian cucumber under cold water, pat dry, and place it on a stable cutting board.

   Time: PT1M

2. Insert chopsticks

   Insert two chopsticks lengthwise into the cucumber from each end, leaving a small gap between them; this prevents the knife from cutting through the whole cucumber.

   Time: PT1M

3. Make the first cut (perpendicular)

   Using a sharp knife, cut straight down the length of the cucumber, stopping just before the chopsticks, so the cut is perpendicular to the cucumber’s long axis.

   Time: PT3M

4. Flip and cut at a 30-degree angle

   Flip the cucumber over, then make a second lengthwise cut at roughly a 30-degree angle to the first cut, again stopping short of the chopsticks.

   Time: PT2M

5. Unwind the spiral

   Gently pull both ends of the cucumber outward; the two cuts will allow the cucumber to unwind into a continuous spiral. Remove the chopsticks carefully.

   Time: PT1M

6. Serve

   Arrange the spiral on a plate or bowl. Optionally drizzle with a little lemon juice or sprinkle with salt for extra flavor.

   Time: PT0M
