Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 English cucumbers
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 tbsp unseasoned rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds

Method
 

  1. Slice cucumbers into thin rounds, toss with salt in a colander, and let sit for 5 minutes. Press gently with a towel to remove excess water.
  2. Whisk rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and garlic in a bowl until the sugar dissolves.
  3. Add cucumbers and sesame seeds to the dressing, toss well, and serve immediately.

Notes

For the crunchiest texture, dress the salad right before serving. If you need to prep earlier, keep the salted cucumbers and dressing separate in the fridge and toss just before eating.
