Recipe

Thinly julienne the cucumber and onion.
Finely chop the green and red chili peppers.
In a bowl, combine 3 cups water, 1 cup vinegar, 1/3 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon salt, and a pinch of seasoned salt. Stir well until the sugar dissolves to make the chilled soup base.
In a large serving bowl, place the soaked seaweed, julienned cucumber and onion, and chopped chili peppers together.
Pour the prepared chilled soup base over the vegetables and add ice cubes.
Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator until cold, then serve.

Cut the cucumber, onion, and chili peppers into appropriate sizes.
Mix water, vinegar, sugar, salt, and seasoned salt to make the soup base.
Place the seaweed and vegetables in a bowl and pour the soup base over them.
Add ice cubes and chill in the refrigerator to finish.

Cooking tips

Soak the seaweed in advance, blanch it briefly in boiling water, then rinse in cold water for a cleaner taste.
