How to Make Spicy Cucumber Salad

Step 1

The first thing you need to do is wash the cucumbers and slice them into thin circles or half-moons, depending on your preference. If the cucumbers have thick skin, you can peel them first.

Step 2

Then place the cucumbers in a bowl. Add a pinch of salt and let them sit for 5-10 minutes. This helps remove excess water so the salad doesn’t become watery.

Step 3

Now, mix the dressing. In a small bowl, stir together the vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, minced garlic, and chili flakes until well blended. Drain and dry the cucumbers. After salting, gently squeeze the cucumbers or pat them with a paper towel to remove excess liquid.

Step 4

Now, mix and pour the dressing over the cucumbers, tossing well until all pieces are evenly coated. Add the toppings. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions, if using. Finally, chill and serve. Let them refrigerate for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to absorb.
