Spicy Spiral Cucumber Salad

Spicy Spiral Cucumber Salad

6 - 10ish mini cucumbers

1 - 1½ Tbsp salt

1 clove minced garlic (or garlic powder, idk, measure with your intuition) 

Some green onions

1 Tbsp. Rice vinegar

1 Tbsp. Chili flakes

1 Tbsp. Sesame oil

1 Tbsp. Brown sugar

1 Tbsp. Sesame seeds

Rinse cucumbers and cut into spirals by placing a chopstick on either side of the cucumber and slicing cucumbers diagonally (most of the way through cause the chopsticks stop you from cutting all the way) then flip the cucumber over and make straight slices. I like to make the slices thicker so there's more room for error. Put cucumbers in a bowl and coat with salt. Let them sit for about 15 minutes so the salt draws out extra water and makes them crunchy. Rinse with cold water and pat dry. Add garlic, green onions, rice vinegar, chili flakes, sesame oil, sugar, and sesame seeds. Mix really well and enjoy!
