cucumber (Korean)

salt

scallion

garlic

tbsp gochugaru ((Korean red pepper flakes))

tsp rice wine vinegar

tsp sesame oil

sesame seeds

sugar

Slice the cucumbers and gently toss them through with 1 tsp of salt. The salt will draw out the moisture from the cucumber.

Place the cucumber in a colander or sieve over a mixing bowl to catch the water. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes.

Chop the whole sprig of scallion or green onion.

Mince enough garlic to yield 1 tsp, or you can use the Korean minced garlic in a jar.

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the dried-out cucumber, scallion or green onion, and garlic. Then add gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes), rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, sesame seeds and sugar. Gently mix them together until the cucumber is well coated.

Serve.
