A perfect side dish for hot weather — Koh Kentetsu's addictive recipe. Just salt the cucumbers, squeeze out the water, and toss with tuna (oil and all), soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, and mustard. The aroma of the mustard elevates the savory depth of the tuna, making it a great match for rice, somen noodles, or drinks. Leaving the cucumber seeds in gives it a juicy texture.
