"A quick pickled salad that is cool and spicy and goes well with kimchee. Don't substitute Chinese hot bean paste for the gochujang. It doesn't taste the same."

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Mix the cucumbers, onions and salt and let sit in a sieve over a plate until about 1 tbsp liquid leeches out (about an hour), then rinse thoroughly and drain. They should be kind of wilted.

Step 2

Stir together the dressing: garlic, gochugaru, gochujang, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and sesame seeds.

Step 3

Toss with cukes and onions and let them refrigerate a couple hours before serving.
