Cooking tips

Instead of slicing the cucumbers smoothly, smash them by turning and hitting them with the knife so the seasoning adheres better to the rough surfaces and the crunch is preserved.
Since the cucumbers release moisture, do not add extra water, or the seasoning will become watery over time.
If you prefer a savory, spicy taste without sweetness, you can omit the sugar.
