A refreshing and flavorful cucumber salad with a zesty Asian-inspired dressing.
Combine the rice vinegar and sugar in a saucepan and heat over medium until the sugar dissolves.
Stir constantly to ensure the sugar dissolves evenly and doesn't stick to the pan.
Remove from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl to speed up the cooling process.
Whisk in the lime juice, grated ginger, minced chili pepper, and sesame oil.
Taste and adjust the seasoning by adding a pinch of salt if needed.
Slice the cucumbers thinly and chop the scallions.
Use a mandoline slicer for evenly thin cucumber slices.
Toss the cucumbers and scallions with the dressing in a mixing bowl.
Ensure all the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve immediately or let sit for 10 minutes to enhance flavors.
Chill the salad in the refrigerator for a refreshing touch before serving.
