Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1

    Cut 1kg of cucumbers into 8cm lengths (approximately half of a long cucumber).

  2. 2

    Leaving 2cm at the end uncut, cut the rest into quarters (like squid legs).

  3. 3

    Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of salt and let sit at room temperature for 1 hour to pickle.

  4. 4

    Cut 100g of chives into 1cm pieces, and slice the carrot into thin, long pieces, about 4-5cm long.

  5. 5

    Blend 1 onion, 3 tablespoons of minced garlic, and 40g of fish sauce in a blender to make a vegetable paste.

  6. 6

    Mix this with 50g of gochugaru and chive, carrots

  7. 7

    After 1 hour, rinse the salted cucumbers three times with water. If they are too salty, soak them in water for another hour

  8. 8

    Stuff the cucumbers with the seasoning, ensuring it reaches all the crevices.

  9. 9

    The cucumbers can be eaten right away(I love this way, more crunchy) or allowed to ferment at room temperature for 1 day (it depends on your taste , store in the refrigerator).
