Instructions:
1. Prepare the cucumbers:
• Thinly slice the cucumbers and sprinkle with salt. Let them sit for 10-15 minutes to draw out moisture.
• Rinse the cucumbers under cold water and drain well. Squeeze out any excess water.
2. Make the dressing:
• In a small bowl, mix garlic, Korean red pepper flakes, sesame oil, soy sauce, sugar, and rice vinegar. Stir until sugar dissolves.
3. Combine and marinate:
• In a larger bowl, mix cucumbers and green onions.
• Pour the dressing over the cucumbers and toss well to coat evenly.
• Let the salad marinate for at least 10 minutes.
4. Finish and serve:
• Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the salad before serving.
• If desired, add fresh cilantro for extra flavor.
