Preparation

1. Boil the vinegar and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat and let cool.
2. Cut the cucumber into wafer-thin slices (mandolin!) and place them in the vinegar mixture.
3. Mix the ají amarillo paste, lime juice, soy sauce and a pinch of salt into a tasty tiger's milk.

6. Garnish with sesame seeds, wakame, furikake and possibly bonito flakes.
