Japanese Style Cucumber Salad

Ingredients
1 large cucumber
3/4 cup Japanese rice vinegar
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt

Method

1. Trim the ends off the cucumber. Use the cut stalk end to rub against both cut sides.  Wash lightly.
2. Cut the cucumber lengthwise into 2 halves and scoop out the seeds.
3. Use a sharp knife to slice the cucumber thinly and place in a colander.  Lightly toss  with the salt and leave for 30 minutes.
   Pour the vinegar and sugar into a bowl and stir well to dissolve. 
4. Gently squeeze out the water from the salted cucumber and place into the bowl.  Use a pair of chopsticks to coat the cucumber slices evenly.
5. Sprinkle some toasted sesame seeds before serving.
6. Place in a serving bowl, and garnish with black sesame seeds.
