How to Make Spicy Cucumbers
- In a medium bowl, combine rice vinegar, gochugaru, soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper.
- Add the thinly sliced cucumbers to the bowl and gently toss to coat evenly with the marinade.
- Let the cucumbers sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. For a more intense flavor, marinate for up to 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. You may want to add more sugar for sweetness or gochugaru for spiciness.
- Garnish with toasted sesame seeds (optional) before serving.
- Serve chilled and enjoy as a refreshing side dish with your favorite Korean meals or as a delicious snack!
