Ingredients

  • 1 large English cucumber cut into thin slices
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • 2 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tsp white vinegar or rice wine vinegar
  • 2 tsp olive oil or sesame oil
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1-2 tsp chili oil adjust for spice
  • 2 stalks green onions finely sliced
  • ½ red onion thinly sliced
  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds
  • 1 cup water

Instructions

  • Start by slicing the English cucumber evenly into thin uniform slices. Toss them in a large bowl with really cold water to keep them crisp.
  • Add the cucumber slices to a large mason jar along with the salt. Place the lid on and allow it to sit for a few minutes, then pour out any excess liquid.
  • Add in the soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, toasted sesame oil, minced garlic, chili oil, green onions, and red pepper flakes.
  • Seal with the lid, and shake well to coat everything evenly.
  • Top with sesame seeds and enjoy!

Notes

For the best results, refrigerate the jar for at least 10 minutes before serving. The cold temperature helps the flavors meld together beautifully.
A mandoline slicer is not needed, simply cut the cucumber into thin, uniform rounds.
