Ingredients
- 4 Korean cucumbers or other 4-5 inch long cucumbers such as English, Persian, or Kirby
- ¾ teaspoon salt or to taste
- 2 scallion or green onions thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 4 ½ teaspoons Gochugaru Korean red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 ½ teaspoons sesame seeds
- 1 ½ teaspoons sugar
Instructions
- Start by rinsing the cucumbers thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris. Then, gently pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the cucumbers into slices that are approximately ¼ inch thick or about 6 mm in size.
- Transfer the sliced cucumbers into a bowl along with the remaining ingredients.
- Using your hands, give the cucumbers a gentle squeeze and massage them to ensure that all the ingredients are mixed thoroughly and the flavors begin to penetrate the cucumbers.
- You can either serve the salad immediately or chill it in the refrigerator for about an hour to allow the flavors to meld together. If you prefer a cold dish, serve it chilled.

Notes
- If you intend to make this salad in advance and store it for more than one day, follow these steps so that the salad doesn’t become too watery.
- After you cut the cucumbers, place them into a colander in your sink.
- Sprinkle the cucumbers with salt and allow them to sit for 20 minutes. The salt will start to draw extra moisture out of the cucumbers.
- Rinse the cucumbers thoroughly under cold running water until you have eliminated all the salt.
- Dry the cucumbers on a kitchen cloth and then mix them with the remaining ingredients.
