  • Cucumber: You need a cucumber which should be whole seedless. Cucumber with seeds on also works perfect, but make sure you choose the small size with thin skin.
  • Salt: Allowing the cucumber to rest after salting will draw water out of the cucumber. Note that the cucumber will spread more and become more loose.

DRESSING

  • Sesame Oil: To achieve a delightful sesame flavor, opt for toasted sesame oil; it's darker and packs more flavor than the regular, un-toasted variety.
  • Chili Oil: For amazing flavor and aroma.
  • Garlic: They go perfectly together.
  • Soy Sauce: It going to add saltiness and umami, use light soy sauce.
  • Sesame Seeds: Added to the salad for additional sesame.
  • Rice Vinegar: Rice vinegar for the best flavor.
