Step-by-Step Instructions for Spicy Spiral Cucumber Salad
  1. Begin by washing the 4 medium cucumbers thoroughly and spiralize them into strands. Place them in a large bowl and sprinkle 1 teaspoon of salt over them. Let sit for about 10 minutes.
  2. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, 1 teaspoon of chili flakes, and 1 teaspoon of minced garlic. Whisk together until well blended.
  3. After 10 minutes, gently squeeze the spiralized cucumbers to remove excess liquid and transfer them to a serving bowl.
  4. Pour the dressing over the cucumber strands and gently toss to coat evenly.
  5. Sprinkle fresh cilantro and sesame seeds over the top before serving. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes for a refreshing option.
