2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp chiu chow chilli oil, plus extra for drizzling
1 tbsp smooth peanut butter
½ tsp fish sauce
1 tbsp maple syrup
1 cucumber, finely sliced
2 salad onions, finely sliced
30g roasted salted peanuts, roughly chopped

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, chilli oil, peanut butter, fish sauce and maple syrup, adding 1 tbsp cold water if it is very thick. Put the cucumber in a large, lidded container with the salad onions and most of the chopped peanuts. Drizzle over the sauce, then shake for 30 seconds until evenly coated (or toss together in a large bowl). Spoon onto a serving plate, drizzle over a little extra chilli oil, then scatter over the remaining peanuts.
