Cut the ends off the cucumber, and cut the cucumber into 3 or 4 segments crosswise.
Cut each segment lengthwise into slices - neither wafer-thin nor too thick - discarding the outside slice on each side to reduce the amount of cucumber skin.
Then cut the pile of slices in half, lengthwise to give you narrow rectangles.
Peel the garlic cloves, squash with the side of a large knife, then chop.
Cut the spring onions into 1cm lengths, using all but the very leafiest end.
In a wok, heat a little vegetable oil until it is smoking, add the garlic and spring onion and fry for a few seconds before addding the cucumber slices.
Stir-fry until the cucumber pieces are all hot, but taking care not to overcook them. The cucumber should still taste crunchy and fresh.
