This an amazing recipe for Cucumber Kimchi from Eating Well July/August 2010. It is very easy to make and tastes like the Ban Chan (side dishes) that you get at Korean restaurants. Korean Chile Powder is called gochugara and can not be substituted for in this recipe. Cooking time is time to prep cucumbers
