Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium Cucumbers, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt

  • 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil
  • 1 clove Garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Toasted Sesame Seeds
  • 1 Green Onion, finely chopped (optional)

Instructions

  2. In a separate bowl, mix soy sauce, rice vinegar, chili oil, sesame oil, garlic, and sugar.
  3. Pour the dressing over cucumbers and toss well to coat.
  4. Let marinate for 5–10 minutes for best flavor.
