    Slice the cucumbers and transfer them to a large bowl.

  2. 2

    Add salt and mix well. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes. The salt helps draw out excess moisture so the cucumbers won’t be watery later.

    Drain the liquid and season with chili peppers, garlic, sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, chili oil, and toasted sesame seeds. Mix well and serve!
