Cooking tips

  • Slice cucumbers about 1 cm thick and arrange them without overlapping during drying.
  • Soak the dried cucumber strips only for 20 minutes and squeeze out water thoroughly.
  • Store dried cucumber strips in an airtight container and soak only the amount needed for immediate use to maintain optimal texture.

Recommended for

  • Fans of crunchy, firm textures who enjoy dishes like dried vegetable snacks or pickled side dishes.
  • Those wanting to recreate the traditional Korean golden ratio of anchovy fish sauce and gochujang for a bold, refreshing, and spicy rice accompaniment.
