"Crunchy cucumber sticks marinated in tangy-sweet-spicy sauce with garlic, onion, and red chiles for quick and delicious kimchi in just 2-3 hours."
Ingredients:
  • 5 cucumbers, peeled and cut into 1/2 x1 1/2 inch sticks
  • 0.5 cup sea salt
  • 0.5 cup white vinegar
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons chili bean sauce (toban djan)
  • 1 tablespoon hot chili oil
  • 2 (4 inch) fresh hot red chile peppers, sliced
  • 1 small onion, sliced
  • 5 cloves garlic, sliced and crushed
Instructions:
  • Combine the cucumbers and sea salt in a bowl, allowing them to rest for 30 minutes to enhance the cucumbers' texture. Drain and rinse under fresh water.
  • Once the cucumbers are salted, combine sugar, vinegar, and water in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat and mix in the chili bean sauce and hot chili oil.
  • Combine cucumbers, sliced chiles, onion, and garlic in a heatproof airtight container. Pour the hot vinegar mixture over the vegetables and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours. Serve chilled to enjoy the blended flavors.
