Piles of cucumbers, taro root, and carrots are cut into noodle-like ribbons to represent longevity. Radishes, pomelos, and green vegetables like cucumbers are symbols of good fortune. Chang serves it as an appetizer to raise good luck, encouraging guests to use their chopsticks and mix and toss the ingredients together. According to superstition, the higher they toss the salad, the better their luck will be in the new year.Food52I love serving cold/room temperature Asian-style appetizers in the summer/spring. This Japanese recipe has been updated and spiced up by using Sriracha sauce - adding almost a bit of kimchee flavor. Adjust the amount of Sriracha to your taste.

Their addictive cucumber was easily the appetizer I made the most during my stint at the restaurant. It was salty, spicy, and intensly flavored with toasted sesame. The restaurant's version included ingredients like dashi, yuzu, and wakame (dried seaweed) and while I can't find the exact ingredients, I've made a version that scratches the same itch but with fewer ingredients.
