I am still trying to find a recipe that comes close to the Shanghai Cucumber dish at PF Chang's. I just found this on another website and here is what the chef had to say: "I am experimenting with cucumbers since I ate this cucumber thing at PF Chang's. This one is better than the first one and as close as I have gotten to PF Chang's cucumber appetizer. When you have drained the sauce that they are marinating in, try to pour some of the sauce over brown rice. It is really good!"
