Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • Cucumbers
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 medium carrot
  • 2 stalks green onion
  • 40 ml olive oil
  • 20 grams sugar
  • 20 ml soy sauce
  • 15 grams paprika
  • 20 grams sesame seeds
  • 10 ml apple or rice vinegar

Method
 

  1. Slice the cucumbers into thin rounds or strips. Sprinkle with salt and let them sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Rinse and drain well.
  2. Peel and shred the carrot. Finely chop the green onions.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, sugar, soy sauce, paprika, sesame seeds, and vinegar to make the dressing.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the cucumbers, carrots, and green onions. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well to coat.
  5. Let the salad sit for 5–10 minutes to allow the flavors to blend. Serve fresh and enjoy!

Notes

  • For extra crunch, add chopped nuts or toasted sesame seeds.
  • Adjust the sweetness and acidity by adding more or less sugar and vinegar.
  • Best eaten fresh but can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
  • For a spicy version, add chili flakes or a drizzle of chili oil.
