Marinated Cucumbers

These marinated cucumbers are cool, crisp, and full of bright flavor - the kind of easy little dish that reminds me of warm summer evenings on the porch when something simple hits just right.

Marinated Cucumbers 

1-lb-mini, cucumbers 

3-tsp-low sodium soy sauce

2-tsp-Rice Vinegar

1/2-tsp-crushed red pepper flakes 

1-tsp-Toasted Sesame Oil 

1-tsp- your favorite honey, I used salted honey

1-tsp-ginger paste

1-tsp-minced garlic, fresh or jarred

2-green onions finely chopped

1-TBSP-Korean Gochujang

2-tsp-sesame seeds 

Thinly slice the cucumbers and add them to a large bowl.  In a separate bowl add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, red pepper flakes, sesame oil, honey, ginger paste, garlic, green onions, and Gochujang.  Give that a good mix and pour over the cucumbers.  Add sesame seeds and then mix so that all the cucumbers are coated.  Cover and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight.  Then you’re ready to serve as a snack or a refreshing side!  Enjoy!!
