SPIRAL CUCUMBER

Ingredients

• 1 cucumber
• 1/2 tbsp salt
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp oil
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1 tsp rice vinegar
• 1/2 tbsp gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes)
• 1 tbsp chili oil
• 2 garlic cloves, grated
• 1 tsp sesame seeds

Instructions

1. Lay the cucumber between two chopsticks. Slice straight down, then flip it over and cut at a 45° angle to create the spiral effect.
2. Place the cucumber in a bowl with the salt. Mix well and let sit for 20–30 minutes.
3. While it rests, make the sauce by combining the soy sauce, oil, sugar, vinegar, gochugaru, chili oil, garlic, and sesame seeds.
4. Rinse the cucumbers under cold water and pat them completely dry with a paper towel.
5. Toss the cucumbers with the sauce and serve.
