Preparation Instructions

1. Prepare the Cucumbers

Wash the cucumbers and slice them thinly. Place the slices in a bowl, sprinkle with salt, and mix well. Let them sit for about 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.

2. Make the Dressing

In a separate bowl, combine rice vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and chili flakes. Mix until the sugar is dissolved.

3. Combine Ingredients

Rinse the salted cucumber slices under cold water and drain well. Add the cucumbers to the dressing, tossing to coat evenly.

4. Garnish and Serve

Sprinkle sesame seeds on top of the salad. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
