Ingredients<\/u>:<\/b>
\n1 pack (5-6) persian cucumbers (or, one large english cucumber)
\n2 tsp kosher salt
\n1 Tbsp gochugaru
\n1 Tbsp sugar (or honey)
\n1 Tbsp white vinegar
\n1 tsp minced garlic
\n1 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds
\n(optional) drizzle of sesame oil<\/p>\n
Directions<\/u>:<\/b>
\nslice and toss the cucumbers in kosher salt, let it sweat for 20 minutes
\n20 minutes later, wash the excess salt from the cucumbers. taste a piece to see if it\u2019s not too salty. if it is, keep rinising them in water. Then, drain the water. try to squeeze out all remaining water from the cucumbers (but not too hard that they break apart!).
\nin a bowl, add the squeezed cucumbers, gochugaru, sugar, vinegar, garlic, sesame seeds and mix it in.
\nuse a spatula and mix in the seasoning by scraping the bottom of the bowl as if you\u2019re \u201cfolding batter\u201d, so the seasoning coats evenly without breaking the cucumbers
\nor, wear gloves and massage the seasoning onto the cucumber slices
\nsalt to tase if needed
\nenjoy as a side with rice, or anything you\u2019d like! keep it in an airtight container, chilled for up to 1 week<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
