Cucumber and Egg stir fry recipe

Updated: Oct 7, 2020



Cucumber is usually eaten raw in the Western kitchen. In Thailand however, it is stir fried into delicious recipes, like this one with egg. Cucumber becomes sweet and tender upon cooking and great in combination with Thai herbs and condiments. Of course, at Eco-Logic Thailand, we get the cucumbers from our organic garden and the eggs from the ladies in our hen house.
