Instructions

Place cucumber slices in a colander and sprinkle with salt. Toss to coat and let sit for 10 minutes.
Rinse cucumbers under cold water to remove excess salt, then gently squeeze to remove excess moisture. Transfer to a mixing bowl.
Add green onions, sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, gochugaru, and garlic to the cucumbers. Toss to combine.
Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

For added crunch, you can use Persian cucumbers instead of English cucumbers.
Adjust the amount of gochugaru to your spice preference.
