SPICY KOREAN CUCUMBER SALAD
Spicy sliced cucumber banchan (side dish). I'm Korean so this is a mild to medium spicy, but if you are sensitive to spice, half the pepper paste and pepper powder, then add to taste.

Steps:
- Wash and slice cucumber into 1/4 - 1/8" pieces. Discard ends.
- Spread cucumber slices onto cutting board. Sprinkle with salt and let sit for at least 15 minutes. You should see water start to form on them.
- Meanwhile, mix all other ingredients well in a 1.5 Quart mixing bowl. (Use 1/2 cup Rice Vinegar for small to medium size cucumber, 3/4 for larger one).
- Press cucumber slices with paper towel or cheesecloth to remove water.
- Put cucumbers in bowl and stir so they become coated.
- Let marinate at least 1 hour before serving. Cucumbers may start to become a bit limp, but do not let them get soggy due to the vinegar.
- To store, place cucumbers in a plastic container with only a little liquid, and leave in the refrigerator.
- This recipe serves about 4 for banchan (side dish). Cooking time is marinating time. Add or subtract ingredients to taste. Try green onion or more garlic.
Tips:
- Use a mandoline or sharp knife to thinly slice the cucumbers. This will help them absorb the marinade more evenly.
- If you don't have gochugaru (Korean chili powder), you can substitute it with a mixture of cayenne pepper and paprika.
- Be sure to taste the marinade before adding it to the cucumbers. It should be spicy, but not too overwhelming.
- Allow the salad to marinate for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will give the flavors time to develop.
- Serve the salad chilled or at room temperature. It can be enjoyed as a side dish or as a light lunch.
Conclusion:
This spicy Korean cucumber salad is a refreshing and flavorful dish that is perfect for a hot summer day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy side dish, give this salad a try.
