👩🍳 Instructions
- Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and slice them into even rounds. If you prefer extra crunch, you can leave the skin on.
- Place the sliced cucumbers in a large mixing bowl or container. Sprinkle a pinch of salt over them and let them sit for about 5–10 minutes. This helps draw out excess water and enhances the crunch. Drain any liquid before moving to the next step.
- Add the minced garlic, soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, chili flakes, black pepper, and dried herbs to the cucumbers.
- Toss everything well until the cucumbers are evenly coated with the flavorful dressing.
- Sprinkle sesame seeds on top and drizzle a little olive oil if desired. Mix again lightly.
- Let the salad sit for 10–15 minutes to allow the flavors to soak in for that “bang” effect.
