This recipe for Asian Cucumber Salad is inspired by @okonomikitchen, featuring crisp Persian cucumbers marinated in a savory, slightly sweet, and garlicky dressing, finished with a drizzle of chili oil.
1. Wash and cut ends off of cucumbers.
2. Use two chopsticks and make diagonal cuts along the cucumber making sure to not cut all the way.
3. Repeat on the other side and cut into thirds.
4. Mix cucumbers with salt and water and let sit for 15 minutes.
5. Rinse cucumbers with water. If the cucumbers are too salty, rinse one more time.
6. Combine cucumbers with rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, and garlic.
7. Marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
8. Drizzle with chili oil and serve.
