Soak in cold water for a few minutes to remove the bitterness of the onion, then drain and put aside to use later.
On a chopping board, sprinkle the cucumbers with a few pinches of salt, rubbing it into the flesh, then rinse.
This lessens the aroma of the cucumber and gives it a good green color.
Hit the cucumbers with a pestle (if you don't have a pestle, use a bottle) and break it apart with your hands, to make uneven pieces.
Pierce the chicken pieces with a skewer and place in a microwave-safe bowl.
Add the salt, pepper, and oil and then place the green part of the green onion and the crushed ginger on top.
Cover and microwave on medium for 4 minutes, or until cooked.
