Growing up, Justin Lee, owner and chef of Fat Choy, enjoyed smashing cucumbers for this salad in a bag. “It was like a Chinese American kid’s version of Shake ‘n Bake,” he says. This is a refreshing saucy dish that’ll cool you down all through summer. At the restaurant, they make their own chili oil, but you can keep it simple and grab your favorite brand from the store.
