Korean Cucumber Salad is a refreshing and delicious side dish to serve alongside barbecued meat and white rice. It only takes a few minutes to prepare, and you can also just eat it as a snack!
Sometimes people like to salt the cucumbers first to release and discard the excess liquid, but I find that it’s not necessary if you plan on eating them right away! And I feel like this Korean cucumber salad recipe is best eaten right after it’s prepared.
Feel free to play around with the ratio of ingredients. Some people prefer it tangier or spicier. I like to be able to taste the toasted sesame oil, so I prefer to make that the main ingredient.
TYPE OF CUCUMBER: Persian cucumbers are my favorite to use for this because they have thin skin, no seeds, and they’re nice and crunchy! They also don’t release as much liquid as other kinds. If you can’t find Persian cucumbers, you can use English cucumbers and core out the seeds.
Important note about salt: The dish will get saltier the longer the cumbers sit, so if you plan on letting them sit overnight, reduce the amount of soy sauce/salt. I like to eat them immediately after making them.
made this and i’m definitely eating this for the rest of my life
Ok i shloud trt it
so happy to hear that, Kai!
😂 ok ok I’ll try it
Make and store a bunch and enjoy it as a side dish, that way you can enjoy it with a main dish every meal.
That bad?
cucumbers are already good on their own idk how people can't life it. it's the watermelon of the "vegetable" world. they're always so refreshing to eat.
It's funny you say this because cucumbers and watermelons are actually related and belong to the same plant family!
yes I've loveddd cucumbers and so many people seem to hate it. some say that it even tastes like electricity 🥲 but it definitely is my favourite vegetable to eat after lunch it's so light and hydrating.
Unless you're not fond of melons. And like some spice with the sweetness.
exactly!! that and tomatoes w a little bit of salt is my fav snack of all time!!
for ur eyes too haha
I just made it and it is absolutely amazing
yay so glad you enjoyed it, Poursha!
@@theasiantestkitchen can i skip sesame oil
@@my-self8366 I did it w/ raw cucumbers and put them in a salad
@Sorry no, is chinese🙄🙄🙄
@Sorry 😂😂
I like to add fish sauce too, and go easy on real sesame oil (the good stuff is strong). Also, allowing this to sit in the fridge for a day, really allows the flavors to meld and you won't have harsh tones of one dominating the other.
Nice 👍🏻 😊
I replace sesame oil with olive oil cause sesame oil is very expensive in my country and olive oil is more accessible.
Ooooh, yeah, a little fish sauce would be mind blowing.
is fish sauce made from Fishes :(
@@alt6877 uh.. yes?
In mexico we just add Salt and lemon to the cucumbers
i was about to day instead just add tajin or chamóy or Valentina with sal y limón!!
yes, delicious…and sometimes tajin too!!
@@padame1234 What's Tajin please?
@@MissOrchid12 Tajín is a chili powder that isn’t that spicy, it has a combination of salt and chili flavor, it’s perfect for sweet fruits (like oranges or watermelon) and as explained by people above that it is also great on cucumbers with lemon! :) I’ve tried it when I was younger and it’s really delicious when you have the right combo
@@lostboi444 Thanks so much! Sounds yummy. I'm going to see if I can buy it here (in the UK).
We Chinese people make it similarly! Except without the gochugaru.
We use the salt, vinegar, sometimes sriracha sauce or chili oil, and a tiny bit of sugar to balance the taste then mix.
I’m glad Asian cultures are alike in some sort of way.
Seeing this comment honestly still give me hope that we all can see, yes we are different, but yet so similar. Us blacks in America make it with salt, pepper, vinegar and Italian dressing. ☮️
Isn't this originally Chinese? Just that the koreans altered the recipe to suit their palate and added their own korean flavour.
@@melzer1377 I’m not sure
most likely though since China used to rule Korea
@@shawmaneflowers6117 ooooo sounds good
@@melzer1377 u can search raincoat cucumber come from(´- へ -、)
It’s similar to what I eat in the summer I’m Mexican so in the summer my mom cuts cucumbers and adds Chamoy and Tahin and it’s so good😊😊😊
Yes with some lime 😮💨
That sounds yummy 😋🤤
@@chyenneboatman7092 it is😭
Now I have an idea of what it tastes like, ty (that way is less expensive lmao)
That's exactly what I thought about when I saw this. I like to add lime too. 🥰🥰🥰❤
I like how traditional Korean food is so delicious and healthy at the same time
6 Persian cucumbers, 1/2″ slices (sub 1-2 English cucumbers, seeds removed)
2 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon sea salt (start with 1/2 tsp and adjust from there)
1 teaspoon gochugaru Korean red pepper flakes (sub 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes)
1 1/2 teaspoon rice vinegar
1/2 teaspoon white sugar
3 cloves garlic, minced
Toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
Combine all the ingredients for the sauce and then add cucumbers. Give it a good mix and serve immediately
Dark or light soy sauce
@@lilysbubbleoffun8054 I used sushi shoyu, but I guess that would be closer to light soy sauce, as the dark would be overwhelming.
Gracias
Thank you!
@@lilysbubbleoffun8054it doesn't matter
Yum.
I babysat for a half Korean family. The grandma visited from across the country and made this, mackerel and those marinated leaves.
Oh my god that was 24 years ago... still crave it.
that sounds delicious
@@theasiantestkitchen 🤗 🤗 🤗 thank you for reminding me of it...
I use to feel like eating healthy meant eating bland and boring foods. I’ve definitely learned how wrong I was about that! There are so many wonderfully delicious dishes that are healthy and packed with flavor and fun :)
Cooking/making healthy food is actually more fun because its way more difficult to get it to taste good. Meat are like cheat codes in cooking. Yes i treat cooking in a competitive manner lmao.
Yes!!! I don't know if you're American, but us Americans have *really* lost touch with healthy foods. I moved to South India(husband is Tamil) & I've learned so much about food!! I bet you could find some good, quick recipes on tiktok. But be warned, "simple" dishes have like 20 ingredients 😆 but it's like this dish here, the bulk of ingredients are like spices or grains. So you can make simple things like cucumber taste SO good!
Long story short, Indian cuisine makes healthy taste GOOD! I never thought I could be vegetarian without sacrificing good foods, but the majority of Indian meals are veg & they make it taste so frickin good 🤤 Highly recommend finding some quick Indian recipes!! ❤ They really know how to do it lol!
@@JaseekaRawrI'm an Indian and felt so good after reading your comment:) Hope your life is going well!
@@M.in_ 😄😄❤ aww so happy to hear that!! India is my home now & it is AMAZING!! ❤ Life is great here, thank you for asking! Hope your life is going great, too! ❤❤☺
This recipe isn't healthy..
That tastes great especially when I can hear Dynamite🔥💜💜💜💜💜
❤Can you follow me, my love?
She not only prepared a wonderful dish , she also summoned a whole fandom 💜
❤Can you follow me, my love?
Made these tonight, finally, after holding on to the recipe for far too long. Thanks! It is really delicious and goes with almost any main dish nicely. I was afraid it would be too much sesame oil or gochugaru but it’s not too spicy or oily.
This cucumber salad is so delicious. As she said, season to yourself taste. And chill in fridge.
this is how we eat guava in our country! pls try it it’s soo good
I’m Chinese and we have a very similar dish to this! The Chinese version is also spicy, but instead of gochugaru we use chilli oil. And we also use a lot less sugar. The rest is pretty much the same, but some people may also add coriander for some extra flavour. Most importantly, instead of cutting the cucumber into cubes, we usually “smack” it apart. This helps the cucumber to absorb the flavour more. That’s why we call this dish “手拍青瓜 (Smacked Cucumber)”.
I always enjoy the missing person episodes on your show, Dr. Grande.❤ This video is interesting and informative, and calming, too. ❤ And, please, keep the Grande zingers coming!
The first one gets more seasoning in bc it has a larger surface area lol 🤣
yep hahahaha
no it doesnt, she said that the second one gets more seasoning bc the cuts in the first one dont open up to take in the seasoning, so it ends up having a smaller surface area to volume ratio than the second way its cut, so the 2nd cutting method gets more seasoning.
@@julzborgy345bro that’s what he just said you phrased it differently to sound smarter🤓
@@jaymenace4045 dawg the 1st guy said the 1st one was better and the 2nd guy disproved him and said the 2nd one is better, learn to read
more seasoning per bite **
This is the best thing I have ever eaten in my life، Thank you so much for the recipe
😭💗💗💗💗💗💗
I love Korean cucumbers especially w/ the chicken, rice, & toasted peanuts
❤Can you follow me, my love?
You don't need to make cucumber taste good. It's amazing
In Chinese, it’s called 蓑衣黄瓜🥒
Obviously the Chinese version doesn’t typically have gochugaru. That’s more of a Korean thing as Koreans like to blend spicy 🌶️ and sweet together.
Yeah I believe this is a Chinese dish, we eat it almost every day in Japan too...
KenKobayashiRasmussen do y’all know Chinese people claim sushi and udon too
@@Imokayluv You must be Korean, let me tell you something, food is not something that can be claimed. Food and food culture is inspired, it is reinvented and it is passed on, the origins of almost everything in Asia is China, you know why that is?
Because the Chinese created a writing system waaaay before everyone else in Asia, this makes them the nation with oldest documents in Asia, and therefore everything seems to have origins in China, BUT, just because the Chinese wrote it down first, does most definitely not mean that they were the ones to invent it. Many smaller tribute nation like the three kingdoms of Korea, Mongolia, Tibet, Japan, Nepal, India and so on. Regions of China with smaller communities and ethnic difference to Chinese has inspired Chinese cuisine throughout their history. Bread came to China through Egypt and Sumeria , today China claims to be the origins of Bao, Steamed pork buns, but how would China make these without bread? This is how history works my Korean friend, and instead of fighting it, its must easier to accept that food is ever changing and so is culture, let share it and be proud of who we are, not what we eat.
@@chchforj sometimes coincidentally? I'd say most of the times and doesn't sound like coincidence, food culture in neighboring countries in every region are similar. Sometimes it's inspired food sometimes sharing the same food resources and taste.
@@KenKobayashiRasmussen yeah i totally agree. Now please let those "few" chinese people know who actually try to claim what is the ever-changing, ever-influenced legacy of human cultures
I do it the Mexican way, tajin and cucumber with lime
Nah mate, Chile de botella 🤤
The crunch 😩💅
i made this and it is literally so delicious 😋
so glad you liked it!!
All Asian food tastes good 🤤, never turned anything down from Asian traditional foods

I already like what they taste like but it doesn't hurt to add more flavor
I made it this morning and I've been craving for it the rest of the day... Because i had used all the cucumbers😂 it was that good!
I’ve been wanting cucumber kimchi
I don’t like cabbage kimchi, but cucumber kimchi is soooo good.
Someday I would like to try Korean food!… Such delicacy!
Just made this and my tastebuds are DANCING 💃
yay glad you’re enjoying it!!
Thanks to all the amazing Korean mukbangers I watch this is the only way I eat cucumbers and very often. Sooo yummy and delicious 😋🤤
Sometimes if I wanna make myself a cucumber salad, I just use; Pepper, Salt and Lime 😂
태양초에 갓뚜기??? 요곤 못참지 너무 맛나보여요 제 최애인 오이절임..ㅎㅎㅎ
the shape is so pretty! i shall try this soon
I'm realizing eating veggies is hard because of the taste. Thank you for this recipe.
Regular people: “looks good I’m going to make this”
Me: *just vibing to dynamite*💜
I can eat cucumbers any day regardless of preparation lol they’re literally my favorite 😂
I haven’t had this in so long! I used to make it every week!
Thank you for listing the ingredients on screen! So helpful for grocery shopping😅
Omg this song is my ringtone so I thought someone called me😂
This looks so good
This recipe is so good!!! 🔥 It is way better than I imagined it would be. Wow, wow, wow!!! I am a cucumber fan!! This right here!!!! Yessssss!!!
yay! I am so glad you enjoyed it 🥰

It reminds me of cucumber with tajin and lime 😋😋
I started making this dish last year and I am obsessed with it. My mom gets cukes every time she goes to the store now hoping I will make it.
I always do the chopstick cutting trick and use Persian cucumbers (but English will work because the skin is thin). I add rice vinegar, use more soy sauce, and substitute homemade chili oil for gochu garu. Marinate an hour and perfection
Trying this asap
Cucumber already taste good though
I somehow messed this up so badly but I’m sure it tastes good if you’re not a bad cook 💀
My life 🥲
I hate the fact I hate cucumbers but I can taste this and the crunch is absolutely mouth watering
How can someone not like cucumbers its literally water in a solid state
That would be ice…. But I get what you’re saying
I think this recipe can apply to almost all vegetables ❤
I’m just Mexican what we do is add tajin on cucumbers
I made some but i just washed with some salt water, added some lemon,chilli powder and tom yum paste and yeah it was delish
I saw a creator use this recipe and act like she made it from scratch didn’t say it was Korean so thank you
This one? Where she names the recipe “addictive” without acknowledging that it’s Asian lol ua-cam.com/users/shortsmVdkH8T9s0Y?feature=share
Lmaooo
i saw the same thing! i believe THIS is the original!!
@@sonialoves444 Yes! So she stole this recipe??
@@MissOrchid12 yes
My grandmother made this as a refreshing side during summer bbqs, she passed away 2 years ago and it’s been hard on my family, but I find her influence most closely when I make the foods she shared with me as a child. She always told me how much better the cabbage was overseas in south korea, she would home make kimchi and would always lament about the cabbage in the us not being as good
The best way to make cucumbers taste better is to make them into pickles
Hubby makes his grandmother's cucumber "salad".
Cucumbers
Vidalia onion
Cherry (or any small variety) tomatoes
Mix Italian dressing in & refrigerate until ready to eat.
It's amazing!! But will definitely have to try this too!!💜💜
오이무침은 정말 맛있어요. 삭혀도 맛있고
Sooo good! Just made it right now! Man I can’t believe I have been going so long without it😂
This is Chinese cucumber salad😭
Just tried this….amazing❤ I’m thinking of using the leftover sauce as a salad dressing 😅
I don’t have gochugaru what else can I use?
Since gochugaru is “Korean chili flakes” in English, you can use just regular chili flakes ^^
@@rizzingtonsit doesn’t taste the same unfortunately
This is the best thing I’ve ever eaten
Can sesame seeds be substituted with something else?
you can just leave them out it just adds a nice flavor but it is not necessary!! i have made this multiple times and when i ran out of sesame seeds it tasted just fine aswell
Flaxseeds/linseeds. I tried it with these as I didn’t have sesame seeds and it still tasted great
I've been making this ans I love it I even been eating it at lunch break for work
I tried it.
And let’s just say, i can’t pee anymore.
My parents lived in Korea for 15 years and they make Korean food every now and then and one of my favorite things is cucumber kimchi, so now if we have cucumbers at the house that we won't need I'll make me some cucumber kimchi to eat, so yummy
It’s actually Chinese 😅
Radish salad kimchi uses the same ingredients as this cucumber kimchi dish. It falls under the kimchi umbrella.
One of my favourite side dishes when I went Korean restaurants.
Sorry but I think it’s Chinese cucumbers I heard about it
So correct me if I am wrong
You are definitely not wrong.

I'm pretty sure it's Chinese, or maybe there's different types
It's most definitely Chinese, I think they crush the cucumbers in China, we eat this every day in Japan as well...

@@oceanrocks But it's cut style exactly like Chinese cucumber salad 蓑衣黄瓜 ua-cam.com/video/g-Y_LDJW9nE/v-deo.html
@@fionahu660 I’m talking about the non-spiral parts. you never mentioned the cutting technique in your original comment, which I agree with. but the dish itself also exists in Korean cuisine.
@@fionahu660 what do you mean.. koreans never make cucumber cuts like that... what they do is Cut it half and do cross cut and put stuffs in the middle.
We also make it in India but with our own special spices with some lemon squeeze it's just fabulous n delicious. Now I'm craving it . Mummyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy🏃🏻🏃🏻
Why you called it Korean Cucumber Salad .This is Chinese Cucumber Salad. You just adjust one ingredient Gochugaru and you called it Korean Cucumber Salad , That's Korean always do .Smh
Radish salad kimchi uses the same ingredients as this cucumber kimchi dish. It falls under the kimchi umbrella. 🙄
That's one of my favorite sides when I order bulgogi, But I will eat it by itself as a snack
when it first come out its Chinese salad and slowly it become Asian salad and then now it’s Korean good job on stealing another Chinese food just like dragon’ bread candy and many other dishes
Omgg I made this and literally can't stop eating it, TYSM! ❤
Wasn't this was chinese few days ago ,so it got stolen by korean cuisine like other dishes

Wow so beautiful salad and tasty 🤤🤤😊
한국이 아니라 중국산이다
i just know how mouth watering this is 😂 im indian and not a lot of us do this but i eat cucumbers with Chaat Masala,salt, and lemon which makes it spicy and sour
That actually looks so so good🤤
Same recipe once and absolutely loved it. Thought cabbage would probably be a nice addition as i had some extra cabbage to use up... finely shredded and I was pleasantly surprised!!! The sauce really brings out the yummy in all the veg! Might try a shredded carrot next time!❤
Sooo GOOD! Had some at Gyu Kaku a Korean bbq in MN, fell in love!
That sesame oil makes it hit different.
I don’t have probably with eating cucumber by itself but I’m definitely using this next time I want eat cucumber. 🥒
Cucumbers are so delicous, this made them 200% better
Making this for Sehri Happy Ramadan 😄
I do this with a vinaigrette, any kind with a tang or a lil kick. This looks amazing 😍 I will have to try it!!! Ty❤️
I've seen this recipe before, except the recipe i have has you doing the salting after cutting and let them sit for 10-15 mins to dehydrate/wilting them a bit before missing in the seasoning, but I really like how you cut the cucumbers- will definitely have to try them that way 🤩
Cucumber already tastes good by itself
My grandma puts them in white vinegar and salt and ITS SO GOOD 🤤
Definitely the most funniest gartic phone game ever! 🤣
You sound so cute 😍😅 & you just got me really excited about making that Korean cucumber dish.
When i saw this i Immediately tried it and i have no regrets thank you im definitely going to make this for the rest of my life❤
I love cucumbers either way so like… I know like most kids my age they hate veggies but I love them :/
I loved this so much 11/10
That looks good though. I feel like I would Actually eat that and I'm Hungry. 😊😊❤❤🎉🎉
