Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix together cucumbers & salt. Set aside for 15 minutes.
  2. In the meantime, in a mixing bowl, combine rice vinegar, gochujang, sugar, garlic, sesame oil, & sesame seeds.
  3. Drain any excess liquid from the cucumbers. Gently squeeze the cucumbers to release any additional liquid, but be careful not to bruise the cucumbers.
  4. Combine cucumbers with the dressing & enjoy!

Notes

  • Cucumbers: If you can't find kirby cucumbers, English, Persian, or pickling cucumbers work as well. You want cucumbers with a thin peel. Remove cucumber  seeds if there are a lot so the cucumber salad doesn't turn too watery.
  • Gochugaru: This is Korean chili flakes that can be easily found in Korean or Asian markets, or online. There are very mild in spice!
