A refreshing and flavorful cucumber salad with a spicy kick, perfect for any occasion.
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and slice them into thin rounds.
Use a mandoline slicer for even and thin slices.
Place the cucumber slices in a mixing bowl and sprinkle with salt. Toss to coat and let sit for 10 minutes.
This step helps draw out excess moisture from the cucumbers.
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, sugar, and red pepper flakes.
Adjust the seasoning to taste, adding more sugar for sweetness or vinegar for tanginess.
Drain any liquid from the cucumbers and pour the dressing over them. Toss to combine.
Ensure the cucumbers are well coated with the dressing for maximum flavor.
Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the salad before serving.
Toast the sesame seeds in a dry pan for a few minutes to enhance their flavor.
Serve the salad chilled as a refreshing side dish.
Garnish with additional sesame seeds or a drizzle of sesame oil for presentation.
