Postup

1. Cut the cucumbers¹ into 5–6 cm pieces. Make a crosswise slit in one end of each piece, stopping 1 cm before the end.

2. Sprinkle the cucumbers¹ with 8 g salt, leave for 30 minutes, then drain off the released liquid. Rinse lightly with water and pat dry.

3. Cut the carrot³ and onion⁴ into thin julienne strips, and mince the garlic⁵. Mix with 6 g chili flakes, 15 ml rice vinegar, 5 g sugar, and 3 g sesame seeds.

4. Stuff the cucumber¹ slits with the mixture, and spoon any remaining filling on top.

5. Pack the cucumbers¹ into a 0,5 l jar, close the lid, and refrigerate for 2 hours.

6. Store in the refrigerator for up to 7 days; after that, the cucumbers¹ lose their crunch.
