Advice

Salt and drain the cucumbers. It keeps them crisp and stops the salad from turning watery.
Why it works πŸ’‘
Gochugaru blooms in the vinegar and soy, sesame oil adds depth, and the quick salting pulls out water while locking in crunch.
Twist 🌢️
Add 150 g radish, thin sliced (1Β½ cups / 5.3 oz) for extra bite, or add 5 g grated ginger (1 tsp / 0.18 oz) for a brighter finish.
