Description
This spicy cucumber salad is a refreshing and flavorful side dish, perfect for hot summer days or as a vibrant addition to any Asian-inspired meal. The combination of gochujang, sesame oil, and soy sauce creates a delicious marinade that infuses the cucumbers with a delightful kick. I love how quick and easy it is to prepare, and the longer it marinates, the more intense the flavors become. It's a great way to use up fresh cucumbers from the garden or farmers market. This salad is vegetarian and can easily be made vegan by ensuring the beef stock is plant-based. A definite must-try!

0.25 cup gochujang (Korean hot pepper paste)

1 tablespoon white sugar

1 tablespoon sesame seeds

2 teaspoon sesame oil

0.5 cup white vinegar

2 tablespoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

1 dash Korean instant beef stock

4 piece Kirby cucumbers, thinly sliced

1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
Preparation (4 steps)
Prepare the Gochujang Paste
Add ¼ cup gochujang (Korean hot pepper paste), 1 tablespoon white sugar, 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, and 2 teaspoons sesame oil to the mixing bowl. Mix for 10 Sec./Stufe 3 to combine into a seasoned paste.
Combine the Marinade
Add ½ cup white vinegar, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil, and 1 dash Korean instant beef stock to the mixing bowl. Mix for 5 Sec./Stufe 2 to combine the marinade ingredients.
Mix Cucumbers with Marinade
Add 4 thinly sliced Kirby cucumbers and the seasoned gochujang paste from step 1 to the mixing bowl. Mix for 10 Sec./Linkslauf Stufe 1 to coat the cucumbers evenly with the marinade. Use the spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl if needed.
Garnish and Marinate
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds over the cucumber mixture in the mixing bowl. Transfer the cucumber salad to a container and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
