Part 7/9:
Once salted and rested, the cucumbers are rinsed to remove excess salt and dried thoroughly. The real magic lies in the flavorful dressing: a combination of Korean chili flakes, brown sugar, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and low-sodium soy sauce. Green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and optional seaweed add layers of texture and umami. The salad is topped with more sesame seeds for garnish, and its spicy, tangy profile is guaranteed to wake up your taste buds.
