Chinese cucumber and sesame salad

There is a restaurant in Hobart called Written on Tea that Matthew, Ross and I eat at together whenever we’re in town at the same time. We order the same things every visit - pork stuffed eggplant, xiao long bao, chilli beef soup and this super refreshing and simple salad.
