Oi Muchim

Ingredients

• •1 lb Korean or Persian cucumbers, sliced 1/8 inch thick
• •1 tsp kosher salt
• •1 tbsp gochugaru
• •1 1/2 tbsp rice vinegar
• •1 tsp soy sauce
• •1 tsp sugar
• •1 clove garlic, finely grated
• •1 tsp toasted sesame oil
• •1 green onion, thinly sliced
• •1 tsp toasted sesame seeds

Directions

1. 1Toss the sliced cucumbers with salt and let them stand 8 minutes; drain and squeeze gently to remove released water.
2. 2Whisk gochugaru, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, garlic, and sesame oil until the sugar dissolves.
3. 3Toss the drained cucumbers with the dressing, green onion, and sesame seeds until evenly coated.
4. 4Serve the dressed cucumbers immediately or chill them up to 30 minutes for a slightly softer, more seasoned texture.

💡 Dress this close to serving; even well-drained cucumbers keep releasing water and will dilute the gochugaru dressing over time.
