Tasty and light. The plump shrimp in this quick stir-fry are a big plus. Great as part of a meal and bento, or with drinks. Cook cucumber on high heat for a crispy finish!

<Notes>
- No Japanese cucumber? Try English cucumber. If you do, remove seeds (cut out inner part) to prevent a soggy outcome.
- If shoyukoji is not at hand, soy sauce works. Sodium content above would be 231 mg with 50% reduced-sodium soy sauce, and 348 mg with regular soy sauce.
- If kurozu brown rice vinegar is not available, use regular rice vinegar.
- Sake can substitute for Shaoxing wine. Both Shaoxing wine and kurozu add a deeper, more complex taste and aroma, whereas regular rice vinegar and sake lighten this dish.
