‘Cucumber guy’ Logan Moffitt’s crunchy, juicy dish has taken over the internet
Sometimes you need to eat an entire cucumber. Ottawa TikTok superstar Logan Moffitt will show you the best way to do it.
Back in early July, Moffitt posted a video in which he sliced an entire large English cucumber into a one-litre deli container using a mandoline, added soy sauce, fish sauce, sugar, MSG, sesame oil, garlic, green onions and sesame seeds, and shook it up – “shake, shake, shake” – before crunching the slices down with chopsticks, directly from the container, slurping the juices left in the bottom.
Though he had been posting cooking content before, his social-media audience loved it, and he carried on with cuke videos: always starting with “sometimes you need to eat an entire cucumber. … Let me show you the best way to do it”; always using a mandoline and deli containers; always adding a generous shake of MSG, “obviously”; always shaking it up and slurping it down into the camera.
Yes, crunchy, juicy cucumbers are appealing – as is the idea of eating an entire one yourself – and there is comfort in familiarity: in his deadpan intro, his process, his “MSG, obviously” catchphrase. And Moffitt’s free-pouring cooking style is intuitive and liberating; he makes the home cook feel like it’s something they could do – slicing, pouring and shaking everything up to eat standing at the counter, which, let’s face it, is how we all eat much of the time.
Add the remaining ingredients – the soy sauce, fish sauce or rice vinegar, sugar, MSG, sesame oil, garlic, toasted sesame seeds and red pepper flakes if you want them spicy. Put the lid on the container and shake it up well, then eat directly from the container, drinking the juice left over in the bottom.
