Cooking tips
- Avoid rubbing cucumbers with coarse salt as it may cause damage and softening; just brush off dust or rinse gently.
- Any remaining moisture can lead to mold growth, so ensure cucumbers are completely dry after washing.
- Pouring boiling saltwater in one spot may overcook certain cucumbers—distribute it evenly across all cucumbers.
- Press firmly with a weight to extract moisture effectively, resulting in a crispier texture.
