2. They keep their shape.
3. Slice the cucumbers slightly thickly and diagonally.
4. Soak in salted water for about 2 minutes.
5. Rinse and drain well or pat dry.
6. If your cucumbers have a lot of seeds or are too ripe, scrape the seeds with a spoon.
7. Then soak in the salted water.
8. Add salt, pepper and sake to the water for poaching the chicken breast.

15. Drain well (or squeeze) and mix with a little sesame oil to prevent from sticking to each other.
16. These are the prepared ingredients.
17. These are the vegetables for the dressing -Ginger, garlic and the core of the leftover Japanese leek.
18. Except from the Japanese leek, chop the vegetables finely.
