Preparation Instructions

  1. 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. 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. 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. 4

    Garnish and Serve

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