Ingredients
Method
- Slice the cucumbers thinly and place them in a large bowl.
- Sprinkle the cucumbers with salt, toss to coat, and let sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, chili oil, minced garlic, sugar, and crushed red pepper flakes to create the dressing.
- Drain any excess liquid from the cucumbers and gently pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Pour the dressing over the cucumbers and toss to combine evenly.
- Top the salad with toasted sesame seeds and green onions for garnish.
- Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Notes
Adjust the chili oil to your preferred spice level. For added crunch, you can include thinly sliced carrots or radishes.
