Time 45m

Yield Makes about 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 English cucumber, thinly sliced into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
1 tablespoon gochugaru (Korean-style red pepper powder)
2 teaspoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
2 teaspoons fish sauce
1 clove garlic, finely grated
2 teaspoons sesame seeds, toasted

Steps:

  • Toss the cucumber with the red pepper flakes, sugar and salt in a medium bowl until well combined. Cover with plastic wrap and let "cure" at room temperature, tossing halfway through, until the cucumber has softened and released some liquid, about 30 minutes. Transfer to a colander and drain well (do not rinse).
  • Whisk together the rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, fish sauce and garlic until combined. Pour over the cucumber mixture, add the sesame seeds and toss until well combined. Enjoy immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
