Ingredients and Tools

  • cucumber
  • vinegar
  • soy sauce
  • garlic

Measurements

  • cucumber 200 g * servings
  • vinegar 7.5 ml + 4 ml * servings
  • soy sauce 5 ml + 2.5 ml * servings
  • garlic 3 cloves * servings
  • salt 0.4 g + 0.2 g * servings
  • sesame oil 5 ml + 2 ml * servings
  • oyster sauce 5 ml

Steps

  • Smash the cucumber with a knife, then chop into 3 cm chunks.
  • Put the chopped cucumber into a bowl.
  • Smash the garlic and mince it.
  • Add the vinegar, soy sauce, salt, oyster sauce, and garlic to the bowl in order, mix well, and marinate for 15 minutes.
  • Pour the sesame oil into the bowl and mix evenly.

Notes

  • In some cases, the ends of the cucumber can be bitter; wash and trim them off, then confirm.
  • Eat right away after it is done, or prepare ahead and refrigerate (not freeze) before eating.
  • If refrigerating, wrap tightly with plastic wrap and finish within 8 hours; otherwise the cucumber will lose its crunch from over-marinating.
  • Peeling the cucumber is recommended for better texture. If you follow this guide and find any issues or improvements, please submit an Issue or Pull Request.
