mini cucumbers

salt ((to remove liquid from cucumber))

soy sauce

rice vinegar

sesame oil

sugar ((or

2-3 garlic cloves,

sesame seeds

gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes) ((or to taste))

Wash and dry mini cucumbers.

Secure the cucumber between 2 chopsticks. This will prevent you from cutting through the cucumber.

Make thin straight cuts (90 degree angle), about 2 mm slices.

Flip the cucumber over (with the unsliced surface facing you), make thin diagonal slices (45 degree angle).

How to Cut Spiral Cucumbers

Place the spiral cucumber into a bowl and repeat with the remaining cucumbers. Add salt to the cucumbers. Use your hands to gently distribute the salt. Place it in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.

In the meantime, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil sugar, garlic, sesame seeds, and gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes).

Rinse the cucumbers under cold tap water 2-3 times and pat them dry with a paper towel.

Combine the cucumbers with the dressing right before serving. Serve cold.
