I saw a few different recipes for Korean style cucumbers so I threw in a bit of this and that for my own bowl! It’s spicy, fresh, crunchy, and tasty!

I like spicy but these had a bit more kick than I expected so next time I would probably remove the pepper paste. And although I didn’t add salt I would also use light soy sauce next time 🙂

3 Persian cucumbers (cut to preferred size, salted for 15-20 minutes before. Rinse, pat dry)

1/2 c Carrots
2 Garlic cloves, minced
2 Green onion, chopped
1 tbsp Sesame seeds
1 tbsp Sesame oil
1 1/2 tbsp Soy sauce
1 tbsp Pepper paste
1 tbsp Gochugaru
1 1/2 tbsp Rice vinegar
2 tsp sugar

    What is the pepper paste vs the gochugaru? Did you also use gochujang?
