Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cucumbers

    Wash the cucumbers thoroughly under running water. Cut off the ends and slice them into thin rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference.

  2. 2

    Salt the Cucumbers

    Place the sliced cucumbers in a colander and sprinkle with salt. Allow them to sit for about 15-20 minutes to draw out excess moisture. After that, rinse them under cold water and drain well.

Dressing

  1. 3

    Make the Dressing

    In a bowl, combine the sesame oil, vinegar, soy sauce, minced garlic, and sugar. Whisk together until well blended.

  2. 4

    Adjust Seasoning

    Taste the dressing and adjust with more salt or add red pepper flakes if you prefer a bit of heat.

Combine and Serve

  1. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, add the drained cucumbers and pour the dressing over them. Toss gently to coat all the cucumbers evenly.

  2. 6

    Chill and Serve

    Allow the salad to sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
