This Man's Cook's Oi-jjichojul-im

A refreshing summer side dish that preserves the crisp texture of fresh cucumber while infusing it with the spicy aroma of green chili in a sweet and sour syrup

Ingredients needed 4 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Cutting cucumbers lengthwise instead of round helps retain more moisture, resulting in a much crisper texture that lasts longer.
  • Placing the chopped green chilies at the very bottom of the container ensures their spicy flavor gradually infuses into the brine.
  • Before serving, taste the finished brine and adjust to your preference—add more vinegar for extra tang or more sugar for sweeter flavor.

Recommended for

  • Those looking for a refreshing, cooling side dish to enjoy with plain rice when feeling sluggish from summer heat.
  • People who want to try a new style of oi-jji dish with a juicy broth, different from the usual dry oi-jji salad.
