Ingredients
  

  • 2 large seedless cucumbers
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons chili crisp sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 green onion thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds toasted

Instructions
 

  • Place cucumbers on a cutting board. With the flat edge of your knife, smash each cucumber lightly, moving back and forth along the full length, until it cracks open. Cut smashed cucumbers into bite-sized pieces.
  • Place cucumbers in a large bowl and sprinkle with salt and sugar. Set aside for 10 minutes. Drain and blot dry.
  • In a small bowl, combine rice vinegar, chili crisp, soy sauce, sesame oil and green onion. Pour over cucumbers and toss to coat. Let sit for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.
