  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 3 tablespoons sesame oil

Notes

  1. Cucumber: You can either peel the skin off or leave it on, the choice is yours.
  2. Bell Pepper: You have the option to shred it using the same shredder as the cucumber or simply cut it into slices.
  3. Soy sauce and sesame oil: The quality of these two ingredients is crucial for this recipe. I highly recommend using Leekumkee for the best results.
  4. Sugar and lemon juice: They can be adjusted to your personal taste preferences. Feel free to add more or less of these ingredients according to your liking.
