Instructions

1 Start by washing the mini cucumbers thoroughly. To achieve that visually
stunning accordian effect, place two chopsticks on either side of one cucumber.
Carefully make thin vertical cuts along the cucumber until the knife hits the
chopsticks, ensuring you don't cut all the way through. Then, flip the cucumber
over and make thin diagonal cuts along the other side. Repeat this process for
all the cucumbers.
2 Once all the cucumbers are beautifully cut, it's time to enhance their flavor.
Rub salt onto each cucumber and let them rest for about 10 minutes. This step
helps the cucumbers sweat out excess water, making them even more refreshing.
3 After 10 minutes, rinse all the cucumbers under tap water to remove the salt.
Pat them dry and arrange them neatly in a serving bowl.
4 In a separate small sauce bowl, combine minced garlic, chili flakes, chili oil,
soy sauce, sugar, and sesame seeds. Mix all the ingredients well to create a
delectable sauce.
5 Now, it's time to dress up the cucumbers! Pour the sauce evenly over the
cucumbers, ensuring that each piece gets coated with this flavour-packed
goodness.
6 For those who love an extra kick of heat, you can prepare some hot oil by
heating it up in a small saucepan. Test if the oil is hot enough by dipping a
wooden chopstick - if it releases tiny bubbles, you're good to go! Carefully
pour the hot oil over the sauce and cucumbers, infusing the dish with an
irresistible sizzle.
7 Finally, give the salad a gentle mix to ensure all the flavours are
well-distributed! Enjoy!
