Cucumber Kimchi image

This recipe came to The Times in 2011 as an accompaniment to bulgogi sloppy Joes, as envisioned by the chef Hooni Kim of Danji, but they add a tangy flavor to whatever they're paired with. Making it is as simple as it gets - the cucumbers are quick pickled in rice vinegar and flavored deeply with gochugaru, or Korean red-pepper flakes. Serve it with the sloppy Joes, or alone, as a bar snack, with an ice cold beer.

I had a hard time finding all of the ingredients for this recipe. I ended up having to substitute some of them, and the kimchi didn't turn out as well as I hoped.

This kimchi is a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less gochugaru if you don't like spicy food.
