When it comes to eating rice, the main dish is important, but the role of side dishes shouldn't be forgotten either. Since side dishes help make the rice taste better, this time we'd like to share a recipe for a spicy and delicious cucumber kimchi-style salad.
Ingredients
• 3 cucumbers, salted and soaked
• 1½ tablespoons chili powder
• ½ teaspoon thinly sliced garlic
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 chili pepper (thinly sliced)
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon thinly sliced spring onion
• 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Slice the cucumbers thinly.
2. To prevent the cucumbers from becoming too salty from the salt, soak them in water for about ten minutes.
3. After about ten minutes, drain the water and squeeze the cucumbers by hand to remove excess liquid.
4. Next, put the cucumbers into a bowl. Add the chili powder, sugar, chili pepper, garlic, and sesame oil, then mix thoroughly until well combined. Finally, sprinkle in the spring onion and sesame seeds.
Now you can enjoy this spicy cucumber kimchi-style salad as a delicious side dish along with your rice.
