A quick and refreshing cucumber salad made without salting, where thickly sliced cucumbers are directly marinated to preserve maximum crunch and savory depth.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Slicing cucumbers thickly helps prevent excessive moisture loss and enhances the satisfying crunch when bitten.
  • Adding scallions too early and mixing them vigorously will cause them to lose freshness and turn dull, so always add them at the final step.
  • Since this recipe skips salting, it should be eaten immediately for the best texture. If storing longer than two days, salt the cucumbers first to remove excess water before marinating to prevent sogginess.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to quickly make a fresh side dish in just 10 minutes without waiting to salt the cucumbers.
  • People who love the full, juicy, cool texture of fresh cucumbers.
  • Fans of Korean-style cucumber salad with a spicy-sweet kick and deep umami from anchovy sauce.
