Smashed cucumbers are a popular Chinese appetizer. Its main feature is that before cooking, the cucumbers must be smashed well until they start to crack. This method is believed to help cucumbers marinate faster. By the way, you can beat the vegetable with whatever you have at hand: a knife, a rolling pin, or even a meat hammer.
