Yoon Yi-ryeon's Oi Tangtangi

A super simple cucumber salad made by smashing cucumbers with a mallet to release their refreshing juices, then tossing them in a sweet and sour dressing.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Smashing the cucumbers instead of neatly slicing them creates irregular surfaces that prevent the seasoning from sliding off and help the cucumber juices flow out.
  • Using seasoned salt instead of regular salt or soy sauce keeps the broth clear and clean while delivering a precise, savory depth.
  • It's good right after mixing, but it's even better after a short rest in the fridge, when the cucumbers release a pool of cool, flavorful broth.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to whip up a refreshing, cool side dish in 5 minutes without using any heat.
  • Those who need a crisp, palate-cleansing vegetable dish with a burst of freshness during seasons when appetite is low.
