Instructions

Add salt to the cucumbers, mix well, and set aside in the fridge for 10-15 minutes.
In the meantime, make the dressing by combining all the ingredients in a small saucepan. Turn on the heat and reduce the dressing until it is slightly thickened. Let cool.
Drain the salt water from the cucumbers completely. Toss the cucumbers and onions, and mix with the dressing. Top with peanuts and cilantro, and serve immediately.

Notes

Best served fresh alongside grilled meats, seafood, or rice dishes. Consider adding the dressing only when ready to serve to keep the cucumbers crisp.
