1
Slice ends off and quarter cucumber length wise.
2
I cut them in 1/2 again so I have 8 short quartered cucumber pieces.
3
Place in a colander then sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 tablsespoon of sugar.
4
I put the colander in the sink- let sit for 10 mins.
5
Add the remaining ingredients to a glass dish or bowl.
6
When 10 mins are up, add cucumber to marinade.
7
Let sit for 20 mins, mix ingredients only a couple of times to allow cucumber to yet marinade.
8
It's ready to eat!
9
Traditionally, kimchee marinades for days, but this recipe allows you to get your kimchee on.
10
Of course the longer you marinade the better, but I like my cucumber crisp and spicy.
11
All ingredients don't need to be exact.
12
Add extra soy sauce if you need or take away peppers to fit your taste.
13
Either way, you'll be happy you had a little something to go with your Asian dish.
