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.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

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.
