• After washing the cucumbers, cut them in half lengthwise, then cut them in half again lengthwise, and finally cut each piece into two pieces crosswise. Place the cut cucumbers in a bowl, mix them with salt and let them sit for 15 minutes.
• While the cucumbers are waiting, grate the garlic, fresh ginger and apple with a very fine grater in a separate bowl for the sauce. Add fish sauce along with chili peppers.
