Bereidingswijze

1. Wash the cucumbers¹, trim the ends, and cut into batons 5–6 cm long and about 1 cm thick.

2. Sprinkle the cucumbers¹ with 3 g salt, toss, and let stand for 10 minutes. Drain off the released liquid.

3. Press 5 g garlic² through a garlic press. Mix with 25 ml soy sauce, 20 ml rice vinegar, 5 ml sesame oil, 5 g sugar, and 1 g chili flakes.

4. Pour the dressing over the cucumbers¹, add 3 g sesame seeds, and toss.

5. Transfer to a 0.5 l jar, close, and refrigerate. Eat after 15 minutes.

6. Storage: keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days; the cucumbers¹ will gradually lose their crunch.
