1

Start by washing the cucumbers thoroughly and then cutting them in half lengthwise.

2

Using a spoon, scoop out the seeds from the cucumbers. This helps to keep the salad crisp.

3

Cut the cucumbers into thin half-moon slices and place them into a bowl.

4

Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of salt over the cucumber slices and toss them well to coat evenly. Let them sit for about 10 minutes to draw out excess water.

5

While the cucumbers are resting, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, mince 2 cloves of garlic and mix in 1 tablespoon of red pepper flakes, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil.

6

After the cucumbers have released some water, drain the excess liquid and pat them dry with a paper towel.

7

Pour the dressing over the cucumbers and toss everything together until well combined.

8

Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds and chopped green onions over the salad for garnish before serving.

9

Serve immediately or refrigerate for a short period to enhance the flavors.
