A summer side dish of overripe cucumber, salted until chewy and tossed in a spicy, tangy gochujang sauce

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Squeezing out the moisture firmly prevents excess liquid from forming over time and maintains a chewy texture.
  • The basic ratio for tanginess and sweetness is 1:1 vinegar to sugar; adjust to taste.
  • Sesame oil can mask the spicy and tangy flavor of the gochujang, so it is best omitted.

Recommended for

  • Those who want a spicy, sweet, and tangy muchim that instantly revives a lost summer appetite.
  • Those who crave a chewy, crunchy texture that is a step above ordinary cucumber muchim.
  • Those who want a clean, spicy muchim without sesame oil to use as a bibimbap topping.
