Techniques
Slice the Persian cucumbers into medium thick coins.
  • 400 g Persian style cucumber
  • 20 g salt
Toss with the salt and cure about 10 minutes to draw out water.
  • 30 g scallions
  • 10 g garlic
Drain off the water and move the cucumbers to a medium bowl.
  • 5 g sesame seeds
  • 10 g sugar
  • 10 g rice vinegar
  • 7–8 g sesame oil
  • 25 g Korean gochugaru
Top with the scallions, grated garlic, sesame seeds, sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil and gochugaru and toss to combine.
Leave to marinate; after about half an hour they soften slightly and the flavours unify.
