Spicy Korean Cucumber Salad image

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.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 1h10m

Yield 25 cucumber slices, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 English cucumber
1/2-3/4 cup rice vinegar
2 dashes apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons korean red pepper paste (Gochujang)
2 teaspoons red chili peppers (gochugaru-Korean style, fine powder. Not cayenne)
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
2 teaspoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
3 dashes salt

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.
