Cooking InstructionsHide images

step 1

Vertically score the sides of the English Cucumber (1).

step 2

Then very thinly slice and transfer the slices to a colander or strainer basket sitting in the sink.

step 3

Sprinkle with Kosher Salt (1 Tbsp), tossing the cucumber slices to coat (this will draw out the moisture). Allow to sit for 20 minutes.

step 4

Rinse the cucumbers well under cold water, making sure to remove all of the excess salt. Allow to drain in the colander while you work on the vinegar mixture.

step 5

In a medium bowl, add the Rice Vinegar (4 Tbsp), Soy Sauce (1 Tbsp), Granulated Sugar (2 tsp), and Sesame Oil (1 tsp). Stir well to combine.

step 6

Add the cucumber slices to the vinegar mixture and sprinkle with the toasted Toasted White Sesame Seeds (1 Tbsp).

step 7

Gently toss and keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
