Cooking with Cucumbers

I managed to grow cucumbers in our garden.

Since our harvest is good, I am able to give some to my friends and relatives. Other than eating them raw, I have to figure out how to use them in my dishes.

I discovered that the Thai are making soup out of cucumbers. I found Thai Stuffed Cucumber Soup (Gaeng Jued Taeng Kwa Yad Sai) recipe from Siam Sizzles. I modified the marinating sauces for my minced pork.

Since I prepared too much minced pork for my cucumber soup, I decided to use the leftover to cook Braised Minced Pork with Potato and Carrot.

I love the way it turned out, cooked with the finely chopped carrot mixed in the minced pork.
