Hot Sap Cucumber Salad
Go ahead and try not to eat half this salad before it hits the table.
Ingredients:
- 10 mini cucumbers
- Salt
- 1 Tbsp Sesame Oil
- 1 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1 Tbsp Rice Vinegar
- 1.5 tsp Hot Sap
- 3 Tbsp Toasted Sesame Seeds
- 1 tsp Gochugaru or mild chili flake to taste
Directions:
-
Thinly slice cucumbers and salt generously in a colander. After 30 min squeeze cucumbers to remove as much water as possible. Don't skip this step! The salad will taste watered down and less flavorful if you do.
-
Combine the sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar and hot sap into a bowl and mix. Add in the cucumbers and toss.
- Add half the sesame seeds, toss, and then top with the remaining sesame seeds and additional chili flakes if you choose.
