Method:RUB cucumber slices with 1 tbsp salt. Leave aside for 1 hour. Wrap in clean towel or possibly muslin cloth and squeeze out excess liquid. Place cucumber slices on a tray and sun for 2 to 3 hrs. (This makes the cucumber crunchy.)
For the other vegetables, sun them separately in trays for 1 to 2 hrs.
Bring water, vinegar, salt and sugar for scalding vegetables to a rapid boil. Blanch the vegetables, one type at a time: Dip cucumber and cabbage in boiling mix for 2 to 3 seconds; scald the rest of the vegetables - except chillies - for 8 to 10 seconds. Drain vegetables at once in a colander.
Heat oil in wok and fry the grnd ingredients till fragrant and the oil begins to separate. Stir in vinegar and water.
Add in sugar and salt and bring to a boil then leave to cold completely.
Stir in dry prawns, ginger, shallots and garlic and all the prepared vegetables. Remove and store in a porcelain jar or possibly a clean, dry glass jar. When about to serve, fold in peanuts and sesame seeds.
Footnote: The acar will keep for two weeks in the fridge if peanuts have not been mixed in.
