Cooking tips

  • Placing wooden chopsticks on both sides of the cucumber prevents cutting all the way through.
  • Do not twist the salted cucumber; gently press with your hands to remove only the excess water.
  • Add whole sesame seeds and sesame oil at the end after tossing the vegetables and seasoning first.

Recommended for

  • Those who like crunchy cucumber side dishes with sweet-and-sour seasoning.
  • Those who want to make ordinary cucumber muchim in a fun shape.
  • Those preparing a cool summer side dish to serve right away with rice.
