We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Scrub the cucumber thoroughly in running water. Discard both ends of the cucumber. Thinly slice the cucumber and put into a mixing bowl. Peel and thinly slice the red onion in the same manner.

  • NOTE: I use a mandoline to slice the cucumber almost paper thin. I use the same mandoline to slice the red onion, as well.

  • Step 2: In a small bowl, combine the seasoning ingredients. Pour the seasoning over the cucumbers and onions, and mix lightly but thoroughly with your hand. The chili flakes stain, so you may want to wear a glove while mixing. Serve immediately.
