Ingredients:
• 2 medium cucumbers, thinly sliced  
• ½ teaspoon of salt  
• 2 green onions, finely chopped  
• 1 clove of garlic, minced  
• 1 tablespoon of Korean red pepper flakes (Gochugaru)  
• 1 tablespoon of sesame oil  
• 1 tablespoon of soy sauce  
• ½ teaspoon of sugar  
• 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar  
• 1 teaspoon of toasted sesame seeds  
• Fresh cilantro (optional) for garnish  

Directions:

1. Prepare the cucumbers:
   - Thinly slice the cucumbers and sprinkle them with salt. Let them sit for 10-15 minutes.
   - Rinse the cucumbers under cold water and drain them well. Squeeze out any extra water.

2. Make the dressing:
   - In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, Korean red pepper flakes, sesame oil, soy sauce, sugar, and rice vinegar. Stir until the sugar dissolves.

3. Combine and marinate:
   - In a larger bowl, mix the cucumbers with the chopped green onions.
   - Pour the dressing over the cucumbers and toss everything together until well coated.
   - Let the salad marinate for at least 10 minutes to soak up the flavors.

4. Finish and serve:
   - Before serving, sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the salad.
   - If you like, add some fresh cilantro on top for extra flavor. 

 I’ll try this. Thanks for sharing 

 I make something similar. It is tasty.  You can also short ferment it for a couple days and it becomes even better.
