Easy Korean Cucumber Salad image

This was the first salad my Korean friends served me, and it has been my favorite way to eat cucumber since! The cucumbers I use are about 16 inch long, which is perfect for 4 servings. If using smaller cucumbers, use about one small per serving. It should make about 1 lb for 4 servings Cooking time is chilling time.

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb cucumber
1/2 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon rice vinegar
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Thinly slice cucumber.
  • In a bowl, mix sliced cucumber with soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar and chili powder.
  • Toast sesame seeds in a dry pan until fragrant, let cool and sprinkle over cucumber salad.

  • You might want to add some salt, so try for saltiness before serving because the soy sauce amount isn't very high. You can also add more chili powder if you want some more heat.

This salad is a great make-ahead dish. I usually make it the night before and it's even better the next day.

This salad is so simple, but it's so delicious. I love the way the cucumbers soak up the dressing. I usually make a double batch because it goes so fast.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover cucumbers. It's also a healthy and refreshing side dish. I usually add a little bit of chopped carrot for extra color.
