Spiral Cucumber Salad: Korean-inspired Recipe
  1. Place a cucumber in between a pair of chopsticks to keep the cuts from going all the through. Make diagonal cuts on one side of the cucumber, then flip, and make straight cuts on the other side. Repeat until all the cucumbers are cut into spirals.

  2. Add the cut cucumbers into a bowl. Sprinkle salt all over and toss to evenly coat to draw out the excess moister. Let it sit for 15 minutes then drain and rinse off the salt. Pat the cucumbers dry with a towel.

  3. In the mixing bowl with the cucumbers, add garlic, green onions, rice vinegar, gochugaru, sesame oil, sugar, and sesame seeds. Mix well and gently so the spirals don't break. Make sure the seasonings get into all the crevices.

  4. Taste test, adjust to your liking, and enjoy!
