Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings
- cucumber 2 pieces
- green onion 0.5 bunch
- a pinch of salt
- soy sauce 2 tablespoons
- vinegar 2 tablespoons
- red pepper powder 1 tablespoon
- minced garlic 1 tablespoon
- lemon juice 1 tablespoon
- corn syrup 1 tablespoon
- sesame oil 1 tablespoon
- toasted sesame seeds a little
Recipe 🍳
- Wash cucumbers thoroughly, then pound them with a cooking mallet to naturally break them apart.
- Add finely chopped green onion to the broken cucumber pieces into bite-sized portions.
- Add the seasonings—salt, soy sauce, vinegar, red pepper powder, minced garlic, lemon juice, corn syrup, sesame oil, and toasted sesame seeds—in the specified amounts.
- Gently toss the mixture until the seasoning evenly coats the cucumbers, then serve.
- Pound cucumbers with a mallet to break them into large pieces.
- Add chopped green onion and all the measured seasonings.
- Toss lightly until the seasoning is well distributed and the dish is ready.
Cooking tips 💡
- Avoid breaking the cucumbers too finely, as this releases too much juice and reduces the crisp texture; instead, keep them in chunky pieces.
- For best results, chill the dish briefly in the refrigerator before serving to enhance its crispness and refreshment.
