INGREDIENTS

  • Vegetables

    • 🥒 1 cucumber
    • 🧅 1/2 onion

  • Condiments

    • 1 tbsp gochujang
    • 1 tbsp red pepper flakes
    • 1 tbsp soy sauce
    • 2 tbsp vinegar
    • 🍬 1 tbsp sugar
    • 🧄 1/2 tbsp minced garlic
    • 1 tbsp sesame oil

STEPS

1

Wash the cucumber with salt, scrubbing the skin clean. Remove any spiky parts with the back of a knife. Slice the cucumber in half and cut it diagonally into thick pieces for better texture.

2

Slice half an onion to match the size of the cucumber pieces. Place the sliced cucumber and onion in a large bowl.

3

Add gochujang, red pepper flakes, sugar, soy sauce, and vinegar to the bowl. Mix well. For a milder taste, omit gochujang and increase red pepper flakes.

4

Add minced garlic, sesame seeds, and sesame oil. Toss everything together until the seasoning is evenly distributed. Avoid over-seasoning to keep the cucumber fresh and crunchy.
