🥒 Quick Korean Cucumber Salad (Oi Muchim)

Fresh, crunchy and just the right amount of zing — this spicy cucumber salad is the perfect sidekick to your bulgogi or grilled meats. Ready in minutes, gone even faster.

What You’ll Need:

• 2 Lebanese cucumbers (or 1 continental)
  
• 1 tsp salt
  
• 1–2 tsp Korean chilli flakes (gochugaru)
  
• 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
  
• 1 spring onion, sliced
  
• 1 tsp sugar
  
• 1 tsp rice vinegar
  
• 1 tsp soy sauce
  
• 1 tsp sesame oil
  
• 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds
  

How to Make It:

1. Salt & Soften
   Slice cucumbers thinly and toss with salt. Let them sit for 10–15 mins to draw out water. Pat dry or gently squeeze to remove excess liquid.
   
   

2. Mix the Magic
   In a bowl, stir together chilli flakes, garlic, spring onion, sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil and sesame seeds.
   
   

3. Toss & Chill
   Add cucumbers to the bowl, toss well, and let it sit for a few minutes so the flavours settle in. Even better chilled.
   
   

✨ Serve alongside grilled meats, rice bowls or your favourite One Tray. Crunchy, punchy and just a little bit addictive.
