Kim Dae-seok's Perilla Seed Cucumber Salad
By squeezing out all the moisture from cucumbers using a clean cloth, this dish preserves a crisp and firm texture. It is enhanced with finely ground perilla seeds that have had their husks removed, delivering a rich, nutty flavor.

Cooking tips
- Never rinse salted cucumbers with water, as doing so will wash away both the salt seasoning and the natural sweetness of the cucumber. Keeping them unwashed ensures the crisp texture and proper seasoning are preserved.
- Avoid adding sesame oil, as it can overpower the delicate, clean nuttiness of perilla seeds and make the dish feel greasy.
- Use only finely ground perilla seed powder that has been completely de-husked and roasted—this ensures a smooth, refined texture and prevents any gritty or dirty mouthfeel.
Recommended for
- Those seeking a light, savory vegetable side dish with a nutty, refreshing taste instead of spicy or tangy cucumber salad.
- People who enjoy crunchy, firm, almost snack-like textures in their vegetables without excess moisture.
