SPICY MARINATED CUCUMBERS (OEE MUCHIM)



Spicy Marinated Cucumbers (Oee Muchim) image

These spicy, refreshing cucumbers are a traditional Korean "banchan," or side dish. Danji chef Hooni Kim brines cucumbers in salt before marinating them in Korean red pepper flakes, sugar, and rice vinegar. (Note: Plan ahead for a day of marination.)

Provided by Hooni Kim

Categories     side-dish

Time 8h50m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 English cucumbers, unpeeled, may substitute 5-6 Persian or Japanese cucumbers
1 tablespoon coarse kosher salt
2 tablespoons gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes), available at Asian markets or online
3 tablespoons mirin
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon fish sauce
2 cloves garlic

Steps:

  • Brine cucumbers: Use a mandoline or a sharp knife to cut the cucumbers into ⅓-inch rounds. Place in a colander fitted over a bowl and add salt; mix well to ensure the cucumbers are evenly salted. Let rest at room temperature to drain, 20 minutes. While they drain, prepare the marinade (Step 2).
  • Marinade: In a large bowl, combine the gochugaru, mirin, rice vinegar, sugar, and fish sauce. Smash and peel the garlic, then finely chop. Use the flat part of your knife to press down on the garlic to further break it down, then continue to mince. Add the garlic to the marinade.
  • Marinate cucumbers: Rinse all the salt off the cucumbers with cold water. Whisk the marinade, then add the cucumbers; use a large spoon to toss, making sure the cucumbers are evenly coated with marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Cucumbers will have released more liquid, which helps the marinating process. At this point, they're ready to eat; however, refrigerating overnight will round out the flavors. Place the cucumbers, along with some marinade, in a lidded container and store in the fridge overnight; serve cold. (The cucumbers can be stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 days, or for as long as the cucumbers remain firm and crunchy.)

Honey and Soy-Glazed Chicken Thighs with Marinated Cucumbers image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 chicken thighs (about 3 to 4 pounds)
4 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for pan
2 cucumbers (6 to 8 ounces each)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons snipped fresh chives
1/2 cup honey
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme

Steps:

  • 1. Place the chicken in a large re-sealable plastic bag. Add 2 tablespoons soy sauce and 1 tablespoon oil. Seal and turn bag to coat chicken evenly. Marinate 15 minutes at room temperature, or in the refrigerator for up to 12 hours.
  • 2. Peel the cucumbers and halve lengthwise. Use a small spoon to scoop out the seeds and discard. Thinly slice and toss in a strainer with 1 teaspoon salt. Let sit 10 minutes in the sink to drain. Rinse, drain well and pat dry on paper towels. Toss in a bowl with the vinegars and chives. Set aside.
  • 3. Position the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Combine the remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce, remaining 1 tablespoon oil, honey, lemon juice, and thyme in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring to blend. Remove from the heat and cool slightly.
  • 4. Line the bottom of a broiling pan with foil and brush top pan with oil. Arrange the chicken on the pan, skin-side up. Bake the chicken, brushing often with the honey-soy mixture, until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh, registers 160 degrees F, about 25 minutes. Put the oven on the broil setting and liberally brush each thigh with more of the honey-soy mixture. Broil until nicely browned, watching carefully to avoid burning. Season with pepper. Serve chicken with the cucumber salad.
