Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Do not salt the old cucumber before cooking to preserve its characteristic crisp texture.
  • Avoid slicing the cucumber too thin—7–8mm thickness helps prevent it from breaking during cooking.
  • Chilling the dish after cooking enhances both crunchiness and the depth of the perilla seed’s nuttiness.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a mild, nutty, and refreshing seasonal side dish without strong or spicy flavors.
  • People who want an easy way to prepare old cucumber without the hassle of salting it first.
