Korean-style cucumber salad is a budget dish for all occasions. It can be served on its own, as well as with side dishes. The most important thing when preparing a salad is the addition of savory spices and seasonings. For cucumbers to be crispy, they need to be cut properly and left to marinate well.

Chef Martin Malenets (malovanets.food) shared a recipe for Korean-style cucumber salad on his Instagram page.

2. Chop green onions and press garlic.

3. Put the cut cucumbers in a bag and add onion, garlic, sesame seeds, soy sauce, sugar, vinegar and chili. Close the bag and knead the cucumbers well with your hands to give them a so-called "massage". For best results, you can beat the cucumbers a little with a kitchen hammer.
