Kim Dae-seok's Soybean Paste Cucumber Salad

Recipe 🍳

Cooking tips 💡

• Do not soak the cucumbers in salt—use them raw to maintain their refreshing, crisp texture even after standing.
• Avoid fish sauce due to its strong aroma, which can mask the cucumber’s fresh flavor; instead, use soybean paste to create a savory umami base.
• For a brighter, more refreshing taste, especially in hot weather or personal preference, add one or two drops of vinegar at the final step.

Recommended for 🙋

• ⭐Those who want to make a fresh, quick side dish in just 10 minutes without wasting time on soaking.
• ⭐Those looking to experience the rich, savory-salty appeal of soybean paste instead of the usual sweet-and-sour cucumber salad.
