Step 1

Cut the cucumbers in half lengthwise, and then thinly slice crosswise slightly diagonally. If the cucumbers are thin, you can simply cut into thin rounds.

Step 2

Toss the cucumber slices with one and a half teaspoons of salt to coat evenly. Let sit for about 10 minutes.

Step 3

Tightly squeeze out the water content from the salted cucumber slices. Don’t worry about bruising them. They will recover when stir-fried.

Step 4

Heat a pan over high heat. Add 1/2 tablespoon of cooking oil. Quickly stir in the garlic. Add the cucumbers. Stir-fry for a minute until the cucumbers are slightly cooked. Do not overcook. Turn off the heat. Toss well with the scallion, sesame oil, and sesame seeds.
