- Thinly slice the cucumber (1/8 to 1/4-inch thick). Toss gently with salt and set aside for about 15 minutes.

SPICY MARINATED CUCUMBERS (OEE MUCHIM)

Steps:
- Brine cucumbers: Use a mandoline or a sharp knife to cut the cucumbers into ⅓-inch rounds. Place in a colander fitted over a bowl and add salt; mix well to ensure the cucumbers are evenly salted. Let rest at room temperature to drain, 20 minutes. While they drain, prepare the marinade (Step 2).
- Marinade: In a large bowl, combine the gochugaru, mirin, rice vinegar, sugar, and fish sauce. Smash and peel the garlic, then finely chop. Use the flat part of your knife to press down on the garlic to further break it down, then continue to mince. Add the garlic to the marinade.
- Marinate cucumbers: Rinse all the salt off the cucumbers with cold water. Whisk the marinade, then add the cucumbers; use a large spoon to toss, making sure the cucumbers are evenly coated with marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Cucumbers will have released more liquid, which helps the marinating process. At this point, they're ready to eat; however, refrigerating overnight will round out the flavors. Place the cucumbers, along with some marinade, in a lidded container and store in the fridge overnight; serve cold. (The cucumbers can be stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 days, or for as long as the cucumbers remain firm and crunchy.)

Tips:
- Choose the right cucumbers: For the best results, use fresh, firm cucumbers that are not too large. Smaller cucumbers will have a better texture and flavor.
- Slice the cucumbers thinly: This will help them to absorb the marinade more easily and cook evenly.
- Use a variety of spices: Gochugaru (Korean chili powder), garlic, ginger, and sesame seeds are all essential ingredients in oee muchim, but you can also add other spices to taste, such as black pepper, cumin, or coriander.
- Let the cucumbers marinate for at least 30 minutes: This will give them time to absorb the flavors of the marinade.
- Serve the cucumbers cold: Oee muchim is best served cold, so chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Conclusion:
Oee muchim is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a healthy and flavorful snack or side dish, give oee muchim a try!
