ingredients
1 1/2 pound Korean cucumbers (Kirby or other seedless cucumbers substitute well)
1 tablespoon coarse salt
1 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 1/2 teaspoon chopped garlic
1 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
2 teaspoons white sugar
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
directions
Slice cucumber into very thin rounds. If you have a mandolin this is the time to use it. Sprinkle salt evenly over cucumbers and let sit for ten minutes. This will release a good deal of water.
While the cucumber is sitting, mix the remaining ingredients in a separate bowl. Rinse the salt from the cucumbers. Squeeze the water out of the cucumbers and toss with the dressing. Serve chilled.
NOTE: This is a mild version. If you want it spicy add more red pepper powder.

What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.

Great side dish. Very easy to make. Healthy, low calorie, everyone liked it. I added red pepper flakes because some like it hot!

My husband who hates cucs gave it a 5!! The sweet and hot melange mixed by the next day. To get that melange, next time I will do the dressing the day before; add the cucs soon before serving so they don't get limp.

Just what I was looking for. After years of eating Korean BBQ at restaurants and expert Grandma cooks I tried my hand at a full Korean BBQ dinner. The Korean Cucumbers were a big hit. I made them with slightly more red pepper for a little more kick.
