Main Ingredients- 2 cucumbers
- 1/2 Tbsp salt (for salting cucumbers)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the cucumbers thoroughly and slice them thinly. Place the sliced cucumbers in a bowl, add 1/2 Tbsp of salt, and gently massage to coat. Let them sit for 20 to 30 minutes to salt. This process helps to draw out excess moisture from the cucumbers, ensuring a crisp texture.
Step 2
While the cucumbers are salting, prepare the delicious dressing. In a separate bowl, combine gochugaru, gochujang, vinegar, soy sauce, plum extract, sugar, and minced garlic. Mix them well. We’ll add the sesame oil and sesame seeds at the end.
Step 3
Gently squeeze out the excess water from the salted cucumbers and add them to the prepared dressing. Finally, add 2 Tbsp of sesame oil and a pinch of sesame seeds. Mix everything together gently until well combined. Your delicious marinated cucumber salad is ready! It’s incredibly simple, isn’t it? With just cucumbers, you can whip this up anytime.
