Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Using both salt and honey syrup when soaking cucumbers helps draw out moisture, resulting in a firmer, crunchier texture.
  • The seed area of cucumbers contains a lot of water, so removing it thoroughly prevents excess liquid from forming after mixing.
  • For added flavor, you can optionally include sliced onions or perilla leaves—both pair well with the menran seasoning.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to quickly make a savory and spicy side dish for rice.
  • Those who enjoy crisp, firm cucumber dishes during summer.
