Equipment

  • Kitchen knife
  • Mixing bowl
  • Collander

Ingredients
  

  • 6-8 small Cucumbers
  • Salt
  • 1 stalk Green Onion
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 1 tsp Soy/Liquid Aminos
  • 1 tbsp Rice Wine Vinegar
  • 1 tsp Sesame Seed Oil
  • 1 tbsp Gochugaru (Korean Chili Flakes)
  • 1 tsp Black Sesame Seeds (or chia seeds)
  • 1 tsp Sweetener I use Monkfruit

Instructions
 

  • Slice cucumbers in thick slices-about 1/2-1 inch. Place in bowl and salt liberally. Let sit for about an hour to draw out liquid. Rinse and pat dry with towel.
  • In mixing bowl, combine all other ingredients, adjusting sweetener and Gochugaru to taste. Stir well to combine a paste.
  • Pour mixture over cucumbers and mix well. Serve with additional seeds as garnish. Enjoy!
    *if making ahead and using chia seeds, keep in mind texture, as chia will soften with time.
