Best Korean Cucumber Pickle Recipes
HOW TO MAKE KOREAN PICKLED CUCUMBER: A RECIPE
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- To make the dish, you'll need to begin by cutting cucumbers into either uniform strips or round slices. You can use mandoline for thinner strips, if you'd like.
- Next, you should sprinkle the cucumbers with sugar and salt and toss gently to combine.
- Once the cucumbers have been sprinkled, add vinegar. You need to stir it to make sure all of the cucumbers are coated.
- Once you've completed this step, let the cucumbers sit for about 20 minutes before serving them to your guests. If you've adjusted any of the ingredients, you may want to taste test one of the cucumbers yourself to make sure the flavor is exactly how you like it. If you're cooking the dish for your family, have a spouse or child try one of the cucumbers and let you know what they think about the seasoning.

KOREAN CHEESEBURGERS WITH SESAME-CUCUMBER PICKLES
These double-stacked cheeseburgers bring all the savory-sweet flavors of grilled Korean barbecue. A garlicky scallion marinade helps build flavor three different ways: stirred into burger mix, brushed on the patties to form a glaze, and combined with mayonnaise to create a special sauce. The burgers are formed into thin patties, set on a baking sheet and broiled for maximum caramelization and weeknight ease. Roasted sesame oil rounds out tangy pickles and bolsters the burger with extra umami.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, combine vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon sugar, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Add cucumbers and toss to coat, then let stand at room temperature.
- Heat broiler to high and set oven rack set 6 inches from heat. In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, scallions, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. Mix well, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Transfer 1 tablespoon of the marinade to a small bowl and stir in mayonnaise and ½ teaspoon sesame oil. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine beef and 3 tablespoons of the scallion marinade. Gently mix to incorporate. Form into 8 thin patties (each about 4 ½ inches wide) and arrange in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Brush tops with half of the remaining marinade. Flip and brush with the remaining marinade. Broil until golden and caramelized on top, about 4 minutes.
- Arrange cheese on 4 patties, top with the remaining patties and let stand until cheese melts, about 1 minute.
- Pour off all the liquid from the cucumbers and stir in the remaining 2 teaspoons sesame oil.
- Smear the cut side of the buns with some of the seasoned mayonnaise. Arrange bottom buns on plates. Layer with lettuce, onion, tomato, double-stack burgers, pickles and top bun. Serve with extra pickles on the side.

Steps:
- Toss the cucumber with the red pepper flakes, sugar and salt in a medium bowl until well combined.

Transfer to a colander and drain well (do not rinse).

FLASH KOREAN JAPANESE STYLE CUCUMBER AND DAIKON PICKLES
This is so simple. You use the equal amount of mirin, soy sauce, and rice vinegar as base for the pickle. My SIL's friend, Michelle brought this out for a dinner one night and I loved it because it was so simple to make. You can use any combination of cut up vegetable slices or chunks such as cucumbers, carrots, daikon, turnips, green beans, okra, etc. These pickles last in the refrigerator a long time - at least 6 months or so. As they age, the pickles will get stronger tasting - but I just love them that way! In addition to the main 3 pickle ingredients, you can add garlic, Korean chili peppers, Japanese chili peppers, sesame oil, kochujan, etc. I like to keep mine simple with garlic and Korean/Japanese red chili peppers only. As you eat the pickles, you can continue to add more fresh veggies to the jar. As time goes, the pickling brine will weaken from the liquids released by various vegetables and at some point in time needs to be redone. Serving is a total guess. Note: If you are using thick skinned American style cucumber, peel, seed and cut in half lengthwise first. If you are using Japanese, hothouse, or long thin cucumbers, no need to peel, seed, or cut in lengthwise first.
