Ingredients
  

  • 2 English cucumbers, thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
  • Pinch red pepper flakes (optional)

Method
 

  1. Toss sliced cucumbers with salt in a colander and let drain for 10 minutes. Rinse, squeeze gently, and pat dry.
  2. Whisk vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and red pepper flakes until sugar dissolves.
  3. Combine cucumbers, dressing, and sesame seeds in a bowl; toss to coat. Serve immediately or chill for 15 minutes.

Notes

If making ahead, hold back the sesame seeds and stir them in just before serving so they stay crunchy. The salad tastes best the day it’s made.
