Ingredients
- 3 crunchy Japanese or Persian cucumbers
- 2 tsp salt to draw out moisture
Dressing
- 2.25 .25 tbsp rice vinegar
- .75 .75 tbsp sugar
- .2 .2 tsp salt
- .2 .2 tsp soy sauce
- 0.75 .75 tsp sesame seeds
Instructions
- Slice the 3 crunchy Japanese or Persian cucumbers very thinly (ideally with a mandolin slicer for uniformity) and transfer to a medium sized bowl.
- Sprinkle with 2 tsp salt and toss with your hands to ensure even salt coverage to draw out moisture. Let it sit for 10 minutes.
- Rinse the cucumbers thoroughly to remove the salt, then drain.
- Squeeze all the cucumbers to remove excess moisture. The goal is to remove as much water as you can. Don't be afraid to squeeze hard, the cucumbers can take it!
- Mix dressing ingredients: 2.25 tbsp rice vinegar, .75 tbsp sugar, .2 tsp salt, .2 tsp soy sauce until dissolved.
- Then add to cucumbers to marinate for at least 1 hour. It keeps well overnight too. Keep refrigerated until serving.
- Sprinkle with 0.75 tsp sesame seeds just before serving.
Notes
- 8/30/2023: Adjusted cucumber to fixed number instead of a range for accuracy. Increased initial salt amount for better coverage to purge moisture from cucumbers. Reduced all seasoning ingredients by 25% to reduce waste, but still season properly.
