This side dish is a spicy Korean type pickle. Very easy to make, they don't last long at my house!

Ingredients
  • 3 cucumbers
  • 5 chopped green onions
  • 4 large cloves of garlic
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1/8 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup white vinegar
  • 1/2 tablespoon Korean chili powder (Mexican won't do, get it from Asian food shop!).

Directions
  1. Slice ends off the cucumber and rub against the ends to get the bitterness out (a white frothy paste will form). Peel cucumbers and slice in about 1/8 inch slices.
  2. Add finely chopped garlic and green onions.
  3. Add approximately 1/8 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup white vinegar with 1 tablespoon sesame oil. Add 1/2 tablespoon chili powder (more for taste, I use almost 1 tablespoon).
  4. Marinate and chill for at least an hour (more is better).
  5. Serve!

Can you tell me the difference between Mexican and Korean Chili Powder. I am sure that there is. I am just curious.

Many thanks


Different types of chillies used, the taste is different. I have never tried "regular" chili powder with this. Sorry I can't help more with your question.


Yummy!!! i added in a couple tsp of sugar to balance the sour and saltiness --- so good. I love kimchi and this recipe is similar, but without the hassle of fermenting and prepping cabbage, etc. :) thanks!


Glad you liked it! The photo looks great, Thanks!


Great recipe. Thanks


OMG! My mother is Korean and I grew up on this. It is my favorite and a must have with my sticky rice!!!
